Thank you Mike, I'll chime in on bug 1833322 in regard to reconsider it being default enabled.

Now back to this - in regard to the report here which is the more technical "the log is flooded by these messages".
I've looked at this at a few machines I had (I admit, mostly virtual ones where irqbalance isn't doing too much) and it is indeed easy to reproduce.

# Get a clean test system (needs more than 1 cpu or it will exit early):
$ lxc launch ubuntu-minimal-daily:n n-vm --ephemeral --vm -c limits.cpu=4 -c limits.memory=2GiB
$ lxc exec n-vm bash

# Install
# it is BTW no more default installed on cloud images :-)
$ apt install irqbalance

# Check log
$ journalctl -u irqbalance
root@n-vm:~# journalctl -u irqbalance
