Should we be using actual environments to write integration Tests

I have been working as a Automation tester and my responsibility is to Create Integration automation tests. One of the questions I am having is should we use actual environment to write integration Tests. Example: If we have a consumer application that consumes from kafka and puts the message into MQ, we can write integration automation tests in multiple ways. I usually use test containers as my environments to write integration tests in these type scenario. However, I have seen people use actual Kafka and MQ environments to write integrarion tests. This could be isolated environments.
