Your error is it can't find librdkafka (a C-extension, installed separately). Install it first: https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/librdkafka

Then, when you re-run your PECL install, when prompted, enter the path to where librdkafka installed (depends on your Mac arch, but my M2 ended up at /opt/homebrew/Cellar/librdkafka/2.5.0). The default "detect" was not able to resolve this path and I had to type it.
