This is all true, but at the same time the last books would have been vastly better if only they're been heavily edited. The Hallows storyline was way too sudden and could have been much reduced and tied in better to Rowling's strengths as a mystery and character writer.

For example: the Book 6 flashback structure would have worked great in Book 7 to see what was happening at Hogwarts: it would make the camping trip less interminable, let us see the implications of Voldemort's rule for even the pureblood and halfblood kids, and tied it better into the perfectly functional structure of the previous books.

I don't blame Rowling for this, because she obviously wanted to be done with them, but it was her editors' job to sit down and improve the books structurally.
