      host: "redpanda-0.redpanda.sentry.svc.cluster.local."
      port: 9093
      sasl:

        username: user
        password: password
      security:
        protocol: SASL_PLAINTEXT
    kafka:
      enabled: false
      provisioning:
        enabled: true

Lines 13 to 24 in 9e95d7b

	{{- if .Values.kafka.enabled -}}
	{{ if .Values.kafka.provisioning.enabled }}
	# Set partition counts for provisioning topics from kafka chart.
	TOPIC_PARTITION_COUNTS = {
	{{- $numPartitions := .Values.kafka.provisioning.numPartitions -}}
	{{- range .Values.kafka.provisioning.topics }}
	{{ .name | quote }}: {{ default $numPartitions .partitions }},
	{{- end }}
	}
	{{- end -}}
	{{- end }}

You can partially solve this problem by setting up snubaInit.kafka.enabled: true
And then create manually some topics:
