I could give entire GDC talks about the failures of the 343 era but if it weren't hamfisted into the Halo IP I'd view their games more favorably
Although "good" as an overall statement, your post made me realize, would be overkill and I'd only say good variety at most
Like this shot doesn't even seem like Halo and just looks like a cool new IP and I'd welcome a refining of a lot of this aesthetic complete with its own unique setting and mechanics

That's another thing: 343-era could've easily been more faithful to Halo and Microsoft then use that extra money to start up a new super-soldier IP for more out-there ideas. Could've come after, could've run parallel.
But as for finished, people knew there were tons of ships that did not make it to earth after fleeing High Charity + Halo rings inevitably break down and Flood gets out. Halo isn't always about the next twist/reveal, sometimes it's just about having a fun set of military operations while stopping aliens from using ancient alien tech against you.
And if you haven't been thinking about where to take the story, yeah, it might seem like there's no gas in the tank. However, both Marcus and Marty have mentioned in interviews that Bungie was working on plot for after the events on the Ark.
After all, the Ark arc was meant to be wrapped up in Halo 2 and that would mean 3 more games to fulfill the contract. After Halo 2 had to be delayed and remix 1/3 of its plot for Halo 3, they felt a mere 2 games was not enough to tell those post-Ark ideas, thus opting for spin-offs like Reach and ODST.
All that said, I definitely think about a new IP that refines the 4/5 aesthetic and is free to be its own game in terms of story and mechanics. To this day pic-related doesn't seem like Halo but another IP entirely. Forerunner structures aren't the first to be silvery/angular/monolithic (never mind the take on them for 4/5).
