We're exploring whether or not we can support Airbyte connectors on our upcoming Meltano Cloud offering. As it stands we have some community members running Airbyte connectors in their production environment with Meltano and they seem quite happy with it!
As with anything there are tradeoffs though - gaining the ability to have a connector in a non-Python language comes with the overhead of running (likely) Docker-in-docker. Also, connectors not built on our SDK[0] are missing out on some nice features like batch message[1] support (for bulk loading) and stream maps[2] for inline data transformations.
