I ended up writing a custom Unity script to convert maps generated in Blender. I will share the script below.
With regards to generating the individual maps. The Smoothness map is fairly straight forward. I generated a Roughness map, then inverted it using my script. The Metallic map is a little more of a hassle. Blender does not appear to have a bake option for it. The closest is a Glossy option, which seems to bake shadows into it. The only useful advise I found online was to copy the metallic values over to a field that you can bake out like the Roughness, then bake out the "Roughness" and call it the Metallic map. This worked for my needs. Just remember to revert the Blender file back to what it was before setting up for the metallic bake.
Here is the Unity script I wrote that will merge the individual maps into a single map and invert the maps that need inverting. Feel free to use/modify this code for your own needs:
