Description

Related and more important than https://github.com/micrometer-metrics/micrometer/issues/7232, we should be integration testing our instrumentation against the latest version of Kafka to ensure that our instrumentation works with the latest version despite being compiled against an older version. API could be removed or changed in breaking way in new major versions, so it is not guaranteed to work.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Review existing Kafka integration tests and the Kafka client API changes between the compiled version and the latest minor version to adapt the tests.
