I also use CLion.  It's okay but not perfect.  It's been a while since I've
been compiling on my Mac but from what I recall, the most frustrating part
is the need to re-generate all of the application packages whenever
anything is touched (which is a slow and non-parallel process).

It's possible that implementing one of the possible fixes for
https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1826649 will also enable faster
incremental builds on MacOS
