---------------------------------------------------------------

What about a separate section on SerDe's outside of the Streams docs?

I've seen examples of people using MsgPack and ProtoBuf as well. 

Sure, it's documented implicitly (or briefly under "Message Format") that Kafka 
uses only byte[] for keys/values, but lots of "getting started guides" are 
sending strings and not really discussing the benefits of alternative, more 
compact "structured" formats.
