In photo jargon, "shooting chrome" stands for
1) Kodachrome,
2) Any film that has -chrome in its name (Kodachrome, Ektachrome, Agfachrome, etc.),
3) Any color reversal film (slide, transparency), regardless of whether it has -chrome in its name,
4) Color photography ("chroma" means "color" in Greek),
or
5) Any chromogenic film, whether color or B&W (e.g. C-41 B&W film)?
As an aside, are there films with -chrome in their name that are not color reversal?

Kodak created a chrome/slide vs. color/print divided nomenclature right with its first colour slide and print films, and that developed into a industry standard.

So Ilford were just being awkward with their Panchromatic films then?

You don't shoot with Cibachrome aka Ilfochrome. You print with it.
In B&W, Panchromatic (or "Pan", i.e. Tech Pan, Pan F, Tri-X Pan) refers to the spectal sensitivity of the film, not whether the film renders colour when printed or projected. The first films (like our papers) were orthochromatic, meaning they were only sensitive to the blue end of the visible spectrum.

No. Greek derived "chrome" for colour got into the photographic and optical language early on, maybe even before the 19th century. Ortho- and panchromatic became the established terms for b&w film sensitization types right at their invention. That dominance of "chrome" will have made Kodak pick "Kodachrome" as the most obvious choice for its first trichrome slide film - when they later came up with CN film, they wanted a different nomenclature, and ended up with introducing "color" for that.

Autochrome is celebrating it’s centenary this year, so Kodak were coping that convention I would imagine

The best camera is one that still works!
Then of course there's 'chroming' if you feel you need to get away from photography!
