I don't use a wedge monitor or cab when playing live and don't struggle to get a control feedback at all.
Thanks Paul,
It looks like maybe Kemper have a little work to do here?
You can get real feedback at a low volume if you get the front of the guitar close enough to the speaker grille.

+1. No problem to get natural feedback with the profiler.
The threads requesting a feedbacker effect like the Fender runaway come from the fact that these are FX, not natural feedback. You can do different things with them, similar to what a sustainiac can do.
when plying high gain i feel this little rocker act just like a tube amp, with squeesing overtones, a lot of sustain and feedback!
The Fender Feedback pedal is a good option, does a fairly decent job. Though you do not get the same control and overtones like you can in front of a raging tube amp. It is closer to using a Ebow kind of effect.
So, the Kemper folks could look at replicating the Ebow effect?

I use IEMs.
Are you doing covers or original music? Can you post a link to an example of what you want to do?
Thomas Dill, the guy who did the Kemper Roadshow last year, had a pretty nice idea of connecting one of these fancy micro amps like Marshall MS-2 or an Orange Micro Crush and put them somewhere where you can get close to. Just hook it up to Direct Out and turn it to 11. This way you have pretty little volume (compared to a 4x12 cabinet) but you can get some nice feedback if you go close. I'm sure you can even connect it with a volume pedal in between so this little screamer doesn't scream all the time. 
Maybe worth a try?
Good idea, thanks for posting this, Martin!
Also a pair of "dirty headphones" can be used
