Sylvie and prime Mobius are presumably out there somewhere as well.

Well, we'll see. This is Loki we're talking about.

And I guess I just don’t mind cliffhangers as much as most.

I guess it's more an expectations thing for me.
WandaVision set the bar so freakin' high, as evidenced by its 23 Emmy Nominations and the hiring of the director for the next Star Trek film, that I probably expected too much from
Loki, given the cast and character. I think that had I known that Disney+ planned multiple seasons, my expectations would have been tempered, especially for the finale. That said, I'm fairly certain that this will pass in the coming weeks and months and I'll be fully prepared to watch Season 2 when it's available for streaming.
I think my biggest beef is the cliffhanger. We had close to five hours to set up the series, yet we'll need to wait 18 months to two years to see how it resolves and concludes.
Now I know how the diehard viewers of
Better Call Saul feel.
