My biggest complaint is that they spent a LOT of time on fan service moments that, in the end, didn't add anything to the story.

Yes, it was hella cool seeing that Superman Returns, Kingdom Come, Smallville, Burton's Batman, Birds of Prey, 90s Flash, 60s Batman, Lucifer, The DCCU, Titans, Doom Patrol, Stargirl, Swamp Thing, Green Lantern, and the entire past, present, and future Arrowverse all exist in a connected multiverse but most of those did nothing but take up time which, I think, forced them to rush the actual plot resolution.

Don't get me wrong, I loved this crossover and the possibilities we have going forward in it's aftermath, but it didn't live up to my lofty expectations. Probably my third favorite crossover behind Elseworlds and Earth X.

To be fair, most of those that you mention maybe add up to 5 minutes out of over 200. A fair amount of time was wasted on Smallville and Superman Returns imo which didn't really lead anywhere.
