The pep talk that Ma’at gives to Mariner in Lower Decks is another shining example of Klingon awesome.
I think that something that should be kept in mind is that for a Klingon, what they do is combat but not necessarily physically. Say you’re a Klingon architect, your foe is gravity and the laws of physics. As a Klingon doctor, your foe is disease and ultimately death itself. A Klingon chef fights bland palates and hunger and keeps their customers fighting fit.
There is an episode of ENT in which a Klingon lawyer explains that Klingon philosophy used to be like this but had shifted to valuing only literal combat over his lifetime.

Eating this spicy Klingon-Thai curry is an honorable battle; but the battle the next morning…that is a battle without honor.
That is a battle which cannot be won. Every Klingon butthole that has experienced Klingon-Thai curry has earned its place in StoVoKor!
