Once a GM has some familiarity with FG, and the tools they use to import maps/images and NPCs, you can quickly prep for a session. I reckon it takes me less than 1 hour to prep for a 5 hour Pathfinder session on FG. As I mentioned above, you don't *need* all of the descriptive text. Is it nice to have? Sure, but you don't need it!

I really do echo what Trenloe said - start off light and don't try and put everything in. I did, but I like to drop the boxed text (read aloud) into chat. I took short-cuts, for example, there is a rumors table with 65+ different ones and I did not create a table with all of them, I just rolled dice and made chat boxes with the results to share. I created all the traps as NPC and made items for everything in the treasure description but that is overkill for the average session.
It does make the experience a little better for the players if you do more work in advance, but it is not that big a difference.
If you are really new to FG, I suggest buying a module and running it to see what can be done and going from there as a base.Ultimate License. Running Hyperborea and CoC. Asks lots of questions. Mgpotter.com. PureVPN is a tested solution to run games when traveling. https://billing.purevpn.com/aff.php?aff=33044

RA is more of a classical dungeon delve along the lines of tomb of horrors but far larger. Tsar is more of a structured campaign with a similar level of deadliness. Starting at level 7 or so gives the players a better footing as opposed to RA's level 1. Though there are many entrances to start at for parties of varying levels, but if you take them, you shorten the dungeon as it effectively short-cut large sections of the module.
Regarding RA on FG, I'm not sure there is a PF version in the works given the focus on 5e, and if there is, it won't be released any time soon. I have about 1/3 of the module prepped in terms of maps, encounters, and story entries, given that there's an official version coming out it's not shareable due to CC.

I have heard from FGG for PFRPG that they did hand data over to FG in October - FG has informed me that it implementing it is in the beginning stages.
