Here's a photo of what I have to work with. It's the box in the foreground with the fish tape beside it.
The fiber spool I like using for burial is this part# 6ACS9125OS2PE
It will physically make that bend in the box with no problem.
I looked up the specs on the cable and it gives the attenuation for certain bends in the spec sheet.
So in that 1 gang, with a short/width (2") bend to go in & out of that box, you would be looking at a 0.03dB loss per box. So almost no loss.
Pull strength during installation can be as high as 450 lbf.
If power is an issue at the gate, then your POE might be a better option.
Here with all the lighting strikes we get, running metal conductors in the ground for signal, is a big no-no. It will eventually take a surge. We always have to protect every incoming copper service feed.
