For some test libraries/frameworks, clojure.test's reporting architecture is too limiting. As Kaocha's reporting uses clojure.test/do-report as an interface, these libraries cannot currently be integrated with Kaocha, and are forced to implement their own test discovery/runners, which also makes it more difficult for developers to mix these tests with more traditional ones.
Kaocha is an all-in-one testing tool, its core task is to load tests and execute them, reporting on their progress and final result.
I think it would be in line with Kaocha's goals to support non-clojure.test-based testables, and being more flexible with reporting should help achieve that.

Research direction
Start by reading Kaocha's src/kaocha/report.clj and the clojure.test/do-report interface described in the issue. Trace how reporting currently constrains integration with non-clojure.test-based testables. Done means Kaocha can support those testables while still allowing them to be mixed with traditional tests.
