What you said about "being closer to ninjas" is exactly how I feel about Kaguya as a villain. She is just way too mythological and way too old (regarding her place in Naruto history). Madara, on the other hand, was a nice balance between history/legend and the familiar, everyday Naruto. So Kaguya has me a little homesick, since a more "down-to-earth" ending was expected.

On the other hand, it's not entirely bad. To attain an extraordinary climax calls for extraordinary circumstances. We now have a virtually omnipotent goddess that can travel through rifts in spacetime. So, if you want your "Final Boss battle" to be as epic as possible, well Kishimoto has delivered... in all aspects: OP protagonists, ridiculously OP enemy, and a crazy setting. Who ever once thought the finale for Naruto would entail a (presumably) different dimension containing a fairytale-esque castle mounted in a hellish volcano?
