They come out patch 5.20 whenever that is. And do answer the second question; probably not. was designed in a way that kind of FORCES them to be junglers. They have to roam around and collect kills on hunted targets, and this is very difficult to do from the stand point of a laning environment due to the constant need to leave to secure stacks. One could argue that you can simply hunt your lane opponent, but you get locked out of hunting that target for 5 minutes after getting the stack. Roaming is required even for lane Kindred. It's doable, sure. Worth the risk and potential to be gimped harder than jungle Kindred? Nope.
