I suspect that Kronos is not merely a weapon against chaos. But, rather, it is the hive mind attempting to study how the warp interacts with reality.
From the Tyranid perspective, it is faced with a seemingly unexpected and unending feast which it cannot consume. But psykers can bring those energies into reality. It knows how to make psykers now, and it's figured out how to consume life energy (via eating the infinity circuits). But what it really wants is to figure out how to consume warp energy. Thats why it so gleefully hunts down specific individuals with psychic power...it wants to consume them to further it's understanding of their link to the warp.
This is why it's headed to the Eye of Terror. It is learning everything it can about the warp so that it can enter the immaterium and attempt to feast on the limitless ocean of souls.

So fun thing: There is a recorded instance of an Astropath on a world that was completely covered by the Shadow in the Warp, and while they were talking to Commissar Cain, they told them that this was, aside from the Tyranids everywhere, the only time and place they felt *safe*. Because the non-stop screaming and howling of Daemons and other Warp entities clawing against her psychic presence within the Warp was finally, for a time, silenced.

Fun additional fact: the short story War in the Museum has a tech priest discussing the Shadow with Trazyn the Infinite, and he notes that the Shadow can actually cause technology to go haywire too. The implication being that whilst here we are talking about how the Shadow can be used to weaken Warp-based opposition, if the Necrons become too annoying to the Hive Fleets they may well weaponise the Shadow to disrupt Necron technology on a similarly large scale.
The sheer other-ness of the Tyranids makes anything that isn’t a Tyranid start to unravel, be that sanity, Warp energies or technology.
The Great Devourer is coming, and there is nowhere to hide.

Imagine if the Tyranids figured out a way to go into the warp themselves... the ability to fight directly in the warp and maybe even "eat" the energies in the warp. Would the shadow of the Tyranid gestalt conscious form a new god in the warp? What if a Dark Eldar infested by a genestealer went to Comorragh and it somehow was able to signal to the hive where it is and thereby somehow enable the Tyranids to find and access Comorragh.

Passing Exorcist Chapter patrol: What's going on down...huh.
[Report, what do you see.]
Tyranid Xenos engaging Chaos.
[Peculiar, what hive do they appear to be?]
Designation...they appear to be wearing our colors.
[THRONE!?-*ahem*, report back for further discussion.]
This is gonna be such a weird discussion between Ordos Xenos and Hereticus

I don’t think there is anything more awfully, wondrously successful than a swarm of hyper-adaptive, self-replicating predators feasting upon an unending relentless tide of psychic energy, cutting them off from mainstream Chaos
This has to be the most effective strategy ever conducted against chaos, even starting at the measly scale (compared to the breadth of chaos) that it does.

The best way to stop wasteful loss of biomass to the warp and its denizens, would be to close the eye of terror. Kronos has a simple job, relativistically speaking. Surround the eye, contain the breach, and slowly strangle its presence under their shadow.
Quite simple strategy. Kronos' task is to be the gatekeepers of hell and to shut that door as resource conservative as possible. They do not neccessarily need to succeed in closing it entirely. Just to bar its influence and quarantine it long enough to devour the rest of the galaxy before moving on.

Imagine being Nurgle. Stirring his stew pot wearing a "hail to the unclean" apron. "Papa, there's a hive fleet" "That's not our problem" "But they're eating demons now" Stirs pot faster
