it'd be kind of weird if the show ended with some ~random heel turn
pretty much every one of the non-Cersei characters goes on and on about working together, honour, justice, mercy, atonement, good vs evil, life vs death, light vs darkness, decentralized power, doing things differently, breaking the wheel, etc, etc, etc
but of course it'd be grrm ironic to be like
"ok but haha it actually ends with more pointless cynical political scheming and backstabbing for power because everything sucks"
Dany and/or Jon (and the dragons) dying would make the aftermath easier to resolve and/or if they just destroy the Iron Throne

Arya really should kill the Mountain, it's been set up in a million different ways
i just hope that she doesn't also die in the process
it'd be kind of pointless narratively, mostly just serve as a big death for the show
and an easy way to deny her the Cersei kill, which she seems very unlikely to get, but that doesn't seem hard to write around
Jaime & Brienne probably survive and end up together
