I'm rather doubtful. The problem between Lee and Kimimaro is that, unlike Gaara, Kimimaro's defence was also an offence. His sharp bone projections stopped Lee from attacking even better than Gaara did, even with an increase in speed and strength, flesh is only flesh, and Kimimaro's bone weaons could cut shuriken in half.

As for surpassing Guy, I'd definitely say not. Lest we forget, both Might Dai and Might Guy started out as Ninja incapable of ninjutsu, both devoting themselves to excelling in taijutsu, Guy being the only one to overcome this hurdle and learn ninjutsu, and even so seems fairly limited in its application. So only up until when Might Dai hit his peak (The Eight Gates in full) and when Guy finally passed his block with ninjutsu would Lee be likely to have an edge to surpass them in these areas.

Not to mention the fact that Lee himself has a smaller build than Guy even after the time skip, so even if he wins in speed, base strength would seemingly be in Guy's favour.
