You forgot "Most Darkest Metal Crisis" and "The Final Ultimate Darkest Crisis Crisis"
I guess there was some left over “Crisis energy” or whatever that ridiculous bullish!t was.
Hey DC, I'll create the set-up for you: Kal-El's Legion shows up, but Superman obviously doesn't know them anymore. They set in motion the warnings of things that have been going wrong for a long time, centering upon the systematic and deliberate breakdown of the real Superman's relevance to the universe. With tons of problems fanning out from that one thing. Job is to fix it.
Doesn't get any more meta than that but its all true so roll with it.

Pretty much yeah. I have lots of issues with how Johns handles Superman in general, however I was okay with this ending as it pertained to the DCU and how it functioned. By that point it read to me as his personal out for 5G that DC could feel free and collect on should they want/need to later. Although honestly at this point I'd just do a complete and total reboot. I'm fully of the opinion the continuity is broken beyond repair. Hell I thought that 2011 and in the ten years since its gotten way worse.

Why does continuity matter that much? I think "emotional continuity" is more important. Knowing that the characters have experienced all the periods we saw them experience, in one way or another. What does it matter which villain first united the Justice League? Heck, the last reboot ruined the Young Justice generation. They are stuck in the same place they were in 10 years ago when they had a perfect chance to grow into new roles.
