Did Klingon honor influence time travel?

On the Klingon planet there are time crystals that can be used to travel back in time. If before the Klingons created their code of honor, some had found these crystals, they could have used them as a weapon by attacking their enemies before they even met. If so, what if this had created temporary problems or ethical conflicts in some Klingon? Perhaps Kahlless himself? If Kahlless had used time travel in this way, he could have created the code of honor by proving the problems of using such methods, rather than using more direct and open methods. That would explain why time crystals were his symbol, and how he was able to unite his people by having knowledge of the future. Another theory could be that Kahlless was a Klingon from the future abandoned in the past or a camouflaged alien, who wanted to upset Klingon society, so he united them in a single village leaving them as his last mission to go to Boreth, for which they would need to create spaceships, promising that he would reappear there in the future. What do you think? Do you think this could be the origin of Klingon honor? How do you think Kahlless was born? How would this theory relate to the other myths of Kakless?

Time crystals are NuTrek/Disco, nothing to to with TNG.

I haven't seen Voyager's "Endgame" in a long time, but I remember that Admiral Janeway traveled back in time by stealing some mysterious tech from Klingons. Were crystals involved?

No. And Voyager isn't TNG.

The crystals don't, but Klingon honor is explored in the series with Worf.
