I suspect that could also be what’s apparently halted all progress on the novels - this may have been the general plan for the book endings, and GRRM saw how much people hated it and scrambled to change it. But yeah if he just did that ending and gave it space to unfold properly it’d probably be fine.

That’s my guess, too. I also agree that considering how long his books are, his would have given enough character development for the ending to work.
