I would not do that. I admit I may be a bit biased due to working for Buddy Platform (IoT backend stuff including telemetry collection), but you want to send the data via some protocol (HTTP? MQTT? COAP?) to the central hub and then have those servers put the data into Kafka. Now if you want to use Kafka there are the various HTTP front ends that will basically put the data into Kafka for you without the client needing to deal with the partition management part. But putting data into Kafka directly really seems like a bad idea even if it's a large number of messages per second per node, even if the security parts work out for you.
