From Idea to Printed Circuit Board in One Week
Maybe SnapEDA and their new KiCad plugin [1] would be a good fit for you? I've not used the plugin myself but I do use SnapEDA footprints myself occasionally. I also try and keep on top of all the footprints available on GitHub and add them to our repo [2], you can add this globally and search through it from within KiCad.

Migrating from Cadence Allegro
If you have the time, spend a half-hour to check out the KiCad-StepUp-FreeCad RF examples. Plugin for some RF tools.. If you can get a DXF or similar 2d export of the footprint, you can feed it through StepUp->KiCad. Test it out for yourself, it will only cost you your time. All these run on Windows and Linux, support Python scripting, and use plain text files you can parse and/or manipulate directly.

How would one route a driven guard in kicad. Is there a way to tell kicad should remove solder mask over the trace?
I don't know of any way to do it "natively" in KiCad, but the RF tools plugins includes a "solder mask expander" that should do what you want.
