We see how to configure ciphers and tls limitations for elasticsearch in searchguard, but cannot seem to find the equivalent configurations for Kibana. Please advise where we can set those for Kibana as well. Thank you!

HTTPS for Kibana is provided by Elasticsearch, not Search Guard. So while you can use the Search Guard settings to choose TLS and Ciphers for the communication between Kibana and Elasticsearch, for HTTPS please refer to the Kibana documentation, e.g.:
