Does one use a Kroner tool. Are there any shortcuts?

Right, you want to wire the backside of the patch panel to the "in the wall" cabling so that you have a totally permanent installation from end to end. Patch cables are deemed "sacrificial" / "throw away". So, having a cable coming out of the wall and terminated with an RJ-45 plug isn't best practice as it turns a "permanent" cable into one that is:
a) not fastened down
b) subject to movement, wear and damage
c) harder or impossible to replace (what if flexing causes wires to break right where it enters the wall?).
At the other end of those "in the wall" cables one would expect to see wired jacks in the wall.

Can one use a Krone Tool instead of a 110 blade to punch into the patch panel?

The ones I worked with had the rear sides of the connectors marked with the correct colors so you just have to put the strains on the corresponding color and secure them with the punchdown (Krone) tool. Have a close look. with a bit of luck yours are marked as well.
