The veterinarians I asked all said the same, the least dry food the better and at best no dry food at all. Dry food promotes the development of kidney problems, which is one of the most common causes of death for cats. Evolution has optimized cats for living in desert/savanna environments, so they take in moisture through eating, not drinking and therefore a cat will never drink enough to balance out the loss of body moisture that is caused by digesting dry food.
exclusive dry food seems to check out, but mixed seems to be fine according to google

Is there any issue with soaking dry food that you are aware of?
No, the problem with dry food is it’s lack of moisture only.
