I believe, part of the problem, is that you are simply underestimating her damage output and overall solo power in ganks. With red smite, you don't even need a laner in order to go and get a kill on a target as long as they're in the middle of the lane. Kindred's ganking was/is so strong because there wasn't any real range requirements for her to be effective in a gank, and they also supplied a large amount of damage on their own, enough to take rough 75% of most laners hp by level 4 or 5.

You could also try prioritzing jungle marks a little bit more, most junglers can't really stop you, so it's just a matter of making sure you don't get screwed over by laners that actuallly roam. Just saying something like "Please follow your lane" will often times get you a few good fights while Kindred is strong.

Yes she isn't murdering everything by level 3 anymore, but she's still really good early on, and even better midgame (usually) it's just a matter of believing in your damage rather than having the support jungler mindset of "I need a laner to gank"

Stay away from bot lane if you don't trust the laners though. That's one lane where Kindred can get very easily killed without help.
