What would your opinion be about advising someone who is DIYing their

stranded UTP, and use it for both permanent wiring and patches, as
stranded does krone OK?

Patch leads are cheap. Even at minimum wage you can buy one for the
time it takes.

Stranded will krone but how reliable it will be in the long term when
the wiring gets fiddled with is another matter. Or even if it will
tolerate the movement whilst the other cables are bing punched down
and the panel moved into place.

100% agreement from here. solid for fixed wiring, flexi for patch cords.
