Never tried this. The DRPC Server is horizontally scalable, you can launch as many as you want, and spread your clients connections across all the servers.
I think the idea with DRPC is that it's suppose to be very low latency between request&reply e.g. if it's used to power a website. Kafka will add at least 1 second latency afaik with it's default settings as I believe you can't consume from Kafka until the producer produces and there's an fsync. There might be way to disable this in kafka (while sacrificing durability).
