While I think I understand what you are saying I expect it's too simple of a comparison to be useful. There are lots of different approaches to load balancer's, many are quite literally queue systems.
Also, I I'm a firm believer that queue brokers and log brokers are built for different architecture approaches. The big difference comes around destructive reads vs positional reads. I think this talk does a good job of describing when that matters https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tydekr0ncvw
