Well from my perspective, the production staff didnt contradict themselves there. There was romance development for each girl (yes there was, just in different ways and amounts). And besides Lelouch since that isnt clear as of right now, only a few characters relevant to the plot died. Most of them were mooks caught in Freija's explosion.

Refering to Lelouch's "death", if he did die, then yes it was satisfactory for him since he died accomplishing his goal of creating a better world for the people he loved (except Suzaku. His fate seems suitable from an audience POV but he may feel like it isnt enough for atonement. Again im not too sure here as its up in the air). If he didnt die, then its still a satisfactory end as ZR served its purpose except Lelouch now needs to constantly remain in hiding to prevent undoing his work. He may feel like crap about it but eventually he'll probably accept it as his way to atone. And this would be satisfactory for all Lelouch fans since he is still alive and for all ships to come up with some scenario to satisfy their shipping needs.
