ci: Build hanging due to endless loop in Kafka tests

Description
The GitHub actions workflow is running into endless loop while verifying as part of the Kafka tests. I think this is due to running tests in parallel and recently I have introduced Testcontainers module that also start some Kafka tests. Need to investigate.

Asa first step we should find a proper loop ending condition on the tests to avoid the build running forever.

Examples:

@christophd I've started working on this a week ago already! my idea was to introduce a timeout to the "try until condition" (respectively the base class of these loop-action-types). I think that would be a nice feature anyway. because, as you can see, if the condition isn't met; it just loops forever.

I have the implementation ready, just need to transfer it into the base class. didn't find time since last week, but would sure be able to complete it on Saturday.

edit: of course, that wouldn't help with the build. but at least it wouldn't loop forever.

that sounds awesome! many thanks and take your time
