The series started with Rukia transferring her powers to Ichigo, so if it ends with him giving up his powers to save Soul Society, that'd be a fitting end in my book. I agree. It would be nice if Ichigo were to turn into an emotionless God (considerin how OP he is), and it would be a nice, not 100% happy ending. However, someone else will probably become the new Soul King. I wouldn't be surprised if the person in question turned out to be Aizen, that is, assuming the transformation would modify his mind. Stefan's theory of a power transfer is very good, but we know how much Ichigo detests to be weak, so, again, it wouldn't be a happy ending. Not saying that one is necessary, only it is probable the series will have one.
