we don't need to over engineer this. We just need to catch proper exception and log those errors.

In production environments, the topic auto-creation is disabled by default. That means before someone can deploy a Core, Minion and Sentinel pod, all the topics need to be created by hand manually.
As a monitoring engineer, I would like to know what topics with the correct instance ID prefix have to be created. If Kafka topics can’t be created I should get a reasonable error message on startup, telling me what is necessary to troubleshoot it.
