I really do not care if the end for Shep is tragedy or rainbows and unicorns so much as I want it to pick an ending type and stick with it. I mean what ultimately bothered me about that scene specifically is the most kind thing you could say about it is that its completely superfluous. Because it hedges between "surprise ending" and denouement you are stuck with a scene that really does nothing to move the narrative forward and leaves you wondering a) what you just saw, b) why it was so important that its the only thing you get by way of denouement and c) why a scene that leaves you wondering both these things managed to not be removed or improved. And really the most frustrating thing is we know they're better than that because people wouldn't be this bothered if they actually sucked this much at writing. Or from the damning it with faint praise column at least the ending wasn't as bad as the ending to Battlestar Galactica or Neon Genesis Evangelion.
