We can definitely use phantomsection addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{<name>} right after we begin the environments or type the relevant macro, which would include abstract, list of figures and list of tables in the ToC. Is here a way to patch these commands so that we no longer need to type phantomsection addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{<name>}?

This question is meant to teach me how to patch commands with an example, not that I don't want to manually use phantomsection and addcontentsline

There is nothing to patch inside abstract for the book class -- there is no such environment at all for book.

If report or article is used, the abstract package by Peter Wilson/Will Robertson can be applied with the addtotoc option.

If there is no abstract environment, it has to be either defined in a free manner or the code must be copied over from the aforementioned classes as well as abstractname, then say usepackage[addtotoc]{abstract}.

The solution checks whether the class is report, article or something else and defines the abstract environment, then loads the abstract package afterwards to give it a chance modifying the environment.

The ToC entries for list of figures and list of tables can be achieved with tocbibind as mentioned by Johannes_B.
