Could I write something myself? Yes, but I've found that there is enough variability in how gpx files present themselves that I would like to use a package that has been formally developed for this express purpose. The metadata section is filled with link I don't totally understand, but if I leave them out, they seem to have trouble working with certain software.

Does anyone know how to do this in R without downloading any other programs (like GPSbabel)? R's sf package can do it, if you don't care about time and elevation (I do, and that is standard in most KMLs). There seems to be no relevant content for converting GPX to KML files.
