Confusion with Stargazer/Shepherd notwithstanding, I agree essentially with your assessment. Destroying the Mass Relays and effectively isolating every civilization to the bubble they can reach with normal FTL (did eezo cores survive? if not than everyone is stuck on the planet they were occupying at the time) To me this is like throwing the entire mass effect universe and it's rich poly-species interstellar society over the Reichenbach Falls. Conversely for the people we 'care' about (Shepherd's close friends) we see maybe three of them exit the Normandy after it crash lands somewhere tropical. That's it?.. In fact despite the truly epic lead up to the final moment of the game. Truly epic. despite that 'That's it?" appears to be my final feeling with the ending of the game.
