“Reactor's backpressure model exists because a fast producer can overwhelm a slow consumer in ways that blocking I/O cannot express. Virtual threads do not change that constraint. If your service ... needs to slow down the Kafka consumer when the HTTP client falls behind, WebFlux is still the right tool. The migration case is specifically for services that adopted reactive programming as the only available path to I/O concurrency, not for services that need reactive semantics.“
