It's not in vain. Anakin killing Palpatine and saving Luke is the redemption for his character and with the death and soon after invalid leadership the Empire is crippled. The Sith religion is also dead as while dark-side users still exist there's no Sith beyond a cripple hooked up to a crane on a planet barely anybody can get to nor knows exists. Palpatine was on deaths door anyways because had Rey not shown up there'd be nobody to take Palpatine's place or jump into let alone anybody he can suck the life out of.

Unlike Legends, Palpatine would've died anyways not needing a double (or triple) tap. Had Rey not come he wouldn't have had the extra day's worth of life he did. And even then when he did get restored it turns out he's still not up to full strength as Rey pulled a Windu but ended up incinerating him.
