Questions

Is there a KiCad symbol and footprint for the WS2812B?

Yes. The symbol is LED:WS2812B and the footprint LED_SMD:LED_WS2812B_PLCC4_5.0x5.0mm_P3.2mm, both drawn on this page. PCBKit places them on a board for you when you design with it.

Where is the WS2812B datasheet?

Worldsemi publishes it: the Datasheet link on this page opens it.

What can replace the WS2812B?

Parts like it in the library: the WS2812B-4020-V6 by Worldsemi, the WS2812B-2427-V6 by Worldsemi, the WS2812B-1313-V6 by Worldsemi and the WS2812B-MINI-V6 by Worldsemi. Check their datasheets: a part that fits the footprint may still differ in its ratings.

Which open-source boards use the WS2812B?

2,217 boards in 1,577 repositories on GitHub; the most starred are listed on this page, with their KiCad files.
