    UPDATE:
    * Bezier tools in PCB and Schematic editor now has its own suggestion -- please UPVOTE it here:
    gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/8828
    * Splitting curved traces (arcs) has been developed and proposed for inclusion in KiCad 8!! -- thank you dsa-t!
    * I created a new issue "Add Net Painter tool" which would allow the user to apply nets to graphics and unassigned traces. UPVOTE it here:
    gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/16716
    * I closed the 'make best effort when filleting' suggestion since it turns out you can fillet more than 2 track segments at once.

    Have you try using the plugin?

      The plugin is great if you have a board of 45's and 90's and want to smooth them. In my case I needed to follow the curvature of a round PCB.

    Another idea: Could bezier curves be imported from SVG? It is not ideal but...

      Yes they can, but you'd have to assign a net to each one. And you'd have to export your board layout, draw the curves, and then import back which could introduce errors.
