No, I am very much not suggesting that.. I have no idea why you think
so, but let me be emphatic in saying that I am not suggesting that he
should refrain from upgrading.
I'm saying that I don't particularly see why that this shouldn't work as
long as that patch is following the standard of wiring that was used for
the panel. 568-A or 568-B. All of the important electrical properties
for Cat6 should have no impact on Serial. You still don't want
Cross-talk, etc.
(one possibility is that the patch from the upgraded panel to the KVM
might need to change slightly for the wire map, and this could be done
without any drama -- pick a different color)
Ski - have you compared before/after with a basic ~$19 wire mapper
electrical tool?

What Ski is getting at, is they are upgrading the cable plant and
standardizing on a cable spec that has a path forward, without having
to rip out the cable plant again.
What you are talking about is dedicating part of the patch panel to
legacy non-10GBase-T, for the foreseeable future.

You can run a cat5e patch from a cat6 panel. Or you can run a Cat6 patch
to any rj45 port. It should "just work". You don't need to replace
stuff. The rj45 end is the same:

Also, if you do want to change PDUs anyway, I second Derek's vociferous
support for ServerTech. Apc is second. Geist has some less expensive and
budget offerings that may work for you with features.
Avocent also, ++
(I still like the Cyclades ACS series that Avocent bought, and you can
still find them on ebay)
