I think most is said already, but this merits one more response.

Just to make this clear: There is no romantic bond between Hayate and Nagi. To my knowledge, Hayate has not once considered Nagi as a romantic partner (as opposed to several other girls), and Nagi's conviction about Hayate being in love with her has never left chuuni status. It's an asymmetrical loyalty/chuuni bond.
Would non-Nagi endings compatible with HnG be possible? Yes, absolutely - from the storytelling aspect there would be no hindrances. He wouldn't even necessarily have to stop being her butler. However, it would demand _lasting developments_, something which Hata can't seem to stomach. Then again, it would require lasting developments to make a romantic linkup between Hayate and Nagi palatable, too.

Also if you think Konoha is meant to be taken seriously instead of just stirring the pot I don't know what to tell you.

You're a bit rude, you know? I listed Konoha as an example that in my opinion Hata is _not_ eagerly trying to tie up "dozens of loose ends". Otherwise he wouldn't be so busy creating new ones.
