The patricide definitely happened: Kylo straight-up murdered Han, and there are going to be consequences to that, some of which we're already beginning to see ("The deed split your soul to the bone," etc.).
Not sure about the "would-be matricide" as TLJ showed us Kylo didn't take the shot on Leia because he'd sensed her in the Force and couldn't do it, teary eyes and trembling lips and all. And up to the point where he sensed her, it's most likely that Kylo believed Leia was already dead -- that she'd died in the destruction of Hosnian Prime by Starkiller, a move which the script tells us Kylo didn't want at all and tried to talk Snoke and Hux out of. (That's why he wasn't at the big First Order rally when Hux gave his speech and fired the weapon, and why we see him watching the beam streak toward Hosnian Prime from the bridge of the Finalizer instead.) It was the TIE fighters behind Kylo that fired on Leia -- and Kylo then turned on them and shot them down in return, which is hardly the reaction of a guy who thinks killing his mom is a fine idea. But that incident left Kylo once again believing his mother dead, so his order to take no prisoners on Crait wasn't attempted matricide either.
"Genocide" would be either the Hosnian system or Tuanul, I suppose? The former wasn't Kylo's decision and he had no power to stop it, but the latter was definitely at his command. The destruction of a religious enclave inhabited solely by adults, all of whom belonged to the Church of the Force (i.e. pro-Jedi freedom fighters), were well armed and had just killed a number of Stormtroopers during the battle. Ordering them executed after they'd been subdued and captured was certainly ruthless, but it wasn't a case of wiping out an undefended village full of families and children either.
I'd still like to see some consequences and fallout from the Tuanul incident for Kylo, over and above Finn's defection. Even if he repents he'll never be able to join the Resistance as though nothing happened, or at least it would ring hollow and false if he did; he is a murderer and a war criminal, after all. But even with Han and Tuanul to account for, Kylo's a long way from the kinds of cold-blooded mass murders that Darth Vader committed over his decades of service to the Emperor. I suspect that if Ben turns he's going to be spending the rest of his life in some kind of exile doing penance, rather than being touted as a hero while everybody pretends Kylo Ren never happened. But I don't think he's so far gone that death by execution is the only possible outcome.
