Why not just use a Kingston jack at that point, counting the insertion tool it’s probably about the same price.

Why don’t you show me a picture of a Kingston Jack? If it has screw terminals and they’re in the same order, than it’s essentially the same thing. My line of thinking is that I like when you can correct any errors in soldering via screw terminals instead of the soldering Iron. Also, anything that requires you to remember which color wires to get the job done right is also dangerous. Although I already remember and have them memorized, it’s still a dangerous problem because it adds another way for something to go wrong.
EDIT: I couldn’t find a Kingston Jack. The closest thing I found was a Keystone Jack. There’s no way I’d use that because it requires a punch down tool, and it introduces the need for color codes for the wires, which in turn adds more that can go wrong.
A keystone jack comes with the tool
I find that RJ45 is crappola as the RJ45 connector is fragile and temperamental.
I prefer, DB-9, Din 8, and Air craft connectors.
