Having given it 40 minutes I deduce that the 'Patch' tool just isn't the right tool for the job...on its own.

I tried various settings but nothing that worked 100% all the time.
What I also tried though was a combination of the patch tool with the clone stamp....creating small 'patches' by use of the clone stamp first, then using the 'patch' tool on those patches.

That did some of the work but most of the heavy lifting came down to the usual two tools....Clone Stamp and Healing Brush....which resulted in this...

So....I think you were just unlucky in the type of thing you wanted to 'patch'....rarely do any of these 'blending' tools work across high contrast area's, tending to work much better on small isolated area's that have at least a similar surrounding 'border'....leaving the tool just to work on the central area using the constant surrounding as its target.

Regards.
