Peacemaker was an average show, and ended like an average show would, averagely. It has become more overrated than any MCU show.
In terms of finale's, it's odd that people who criticize No Way Home for having so many previous iterations of spiderman and his villains, and call it fan service, then go on to praise Peacemaker's last episode for a ten second Justice League cameo that is there purely for comedy.
It's also odd that people criticize Marvel's humor so heavily, while then saying Suicide Squad and Peacemaker are two of DC's best.
My opinion is that the Loki finale had the best finale moments, however Captain Falcon's suit and the decision to kill their main antagonist really boosted that finale for me. I have to admit, of every show here, none of their last episodes were their best. For What If, a show I loved, I preferred the more personal story of Dark Strange, a What If Avengers was not my taste. WandaVision was probably my favorite D Plus show, with a solid finale, until the rushed ending where it felt like everybody had somewhere better to be and put in little effort.
Hawkeye was a good show but Kingpin deserves better for his first official MCU appearance. Knowing he's probably going to be back is good, but that finale certainly showed the difference in care that was taken over his character from D Plus compared to Netflix.
A good example of a final episode to a season, in my opinion, is Punisher season 1's finale. Was the Punisher a good show? On some level yes, however the showrunner never made it a Punisher show. The closest he got to being the Punisher was the end of season 2 where he finally embraced the lifestyle. However, at the end of season one, in the last couple of episodes, he felt like the Punisher. In the finale, he hunted down Billy Russo, wearing his skull, using an armory, using tactics and strategies instead of just constant impulse. And then, in the episode's final moments, he has a great fight with Billy Russo, and creates his arc nemesis, in one of the most brutal ways the character has ever been created, on the merry go round his family died on. This was a beautiful moment and was done perfectly. That is a finale. That was better than all of these show's finale's.
Loki has to win though, purely based on story telling and results. WandaVision did have two good boss fights, Wanda beating Agatha and Vision intellectually battling Vision.
