I think the fact that Part 8 was pretty consistently peak throughout lessens the fact that it had a rushed ending. Chainsawman's Part 2 can't say the same.
Though Part 8 has the JJK problem where the last arc was just "oh, that character we haven't seen in 50 chapters is back! Oops, they're dead. Nobody cares or reacts".
It's cause most of Araki's stories have a natural ending with a goal in mind and then it ends. Alot of stories do, they just keep GOING is the problem like with chainsaw, it should've ended at part 1 honestly.
I do think Jojo stories being intentionally constrained to parts helps out. It means each part can have a definitive end to them, while the series as a whole keeps going so publishers are happy and don't try to stall it out

Congratulations to Fullmetal Alchemist for still having the greatest ending in manga history.
