Agreed.
The ending was too abrupt. I would have liked to see some of the scenes you list.
Worst plot resolutions?

I felt some frustration too when Voyager ended.
The ending of Voyager's Endgame. When I watched it back then, I felt disappointment that there wasn't anything really resolved. I also felt it should have been a season long arc.
One of my favorite fanfictions for Voyager has them figuring out a way to make the transwarp (without lizarding everyone) and slipstream drive work. I think they used one method for a while and then developed the other. But they had to trade with species they encountered on the way for the materials they needed. They had to make repairs often because the new propulsion methods were hard on the ship.

The worst part is that after all this time we don't even get to see them arrive on Earth. It would have been nice if they had used the last ten minutes showing us the senior officers get back to their family and maybe a word or two about Janeway's trial for her multiple transgressions.
While it's somewhat off-topic, I felt they already developed a cure for the Warp 10 side-effects by the end of the episode, given that the Doc was able to cure Janeway and Paris. I mean, if it gets everyone home, who cares if they get temporarily sick versus spending decades traveling? In that regard, I suppose it could be said that "Threshold" had an unsatisfying resolution.
Oh, and then there's the matter of Janeway and Paris's kids...
The Sons of Mogh is another one. The episode is actually pretty good, but there is something not right about the solution. I know Kurn was suicidal, but that solution was still extreme.
Creepy is more like it.
They wipe his memory and we never hear of him again. Supposedly he had children and a wife at least. Nothing about or from them. And later Worf ended up in a position to get his honor back anyway.
Another unnecessary bummer solution.

That's just it. He is suicidal. And stubborn. So there is no obvious solution. Wiping his memory seems the best, most compassionate way to save him without killing him.
And it still comes off wrong. It just does. It's creepy. Even the way Kurn looks after the procedure comes off not right.
A lot of fans who've watched it have had the same reaction. (As far as I've noticed).
Lie to him. I could see Worf sitting down at a table with him, rolling out a paper on it and saying, "this is how we will get our honor back!"
It may seem unrealistic, but other characters have gotten out of worse situations on that show.
I rather think it could be argued that they somewhat literally turned death into a fighting chance to live.
Not to mention that they created a situation which theoretically could bite them in the ass later, which I was kind of hoping to see happen.
Frankly, I think the most ethical option would have been to let Kurn end his life if that's what he was so set on doing. The option they exercised effectively took away his right to choose.

Plus Kurn is a clever man. It's unrealistic to believe that his new father will be able to give him satisfactory and coherent answers to all his questions. Like the crew of Enterprise in Clues once he'll stumble on ONE contradiction the cat will be pretty much out of the bag.
Ironically McCoy says that in TSFS when they are fighting the Klingons.
Voyager's "The Swarm" comes to mind. Phaser the swarm ships? The beam's energy is reflected back (or somesuch). All is lost and they're about to die. So what do they do? Janeway spews some meaningless babytalk technobabble, some buttons are pressed, then the phasers fire again and they work this time.
Fuck right off.
Fuck right off.
Tuvix.
It was as though Janeway thought Tuvix was being unreasonable for wanting to live. The only character that didn't pi** me off was The Doctor when he refused to perform the procedure.
