It shouldn't take long to be able to play any of the basic
CAGED chords with the last 3 fingers. Anybody who had played bar chords for any length of time would find playing those open chords not too big a problem.
You don't need to play full bar chords either. Kirk rarely does so you can get along without the index with practice. If you can cover the 1 and 2 string with what's left of your index finger then you have the basics of a bar chord.
R.S. The same applies to you. It is also quite acceptable to change to lefty if you can get comfortable with it. Good luck.
