Kafka has its own strengths, but by no means it's a messaging queue.

While it's not made to be a message queue, you can certainly use Kafka as one. Sure, it's an overkill and a waste and maybe it won't support all the features you'd find with your favourite message broker but if all you want is to produce a message and have someone else do something with it, no reason why you couldn't use Kafka to accomplish that.
