The original idea GRRM may have had for a proper ending is long gone. He's too mind fricked with wokeness to even try.
It’s pretty well known that he gave D&D the ending to the major characters. It was his original idea. I don’t trust anything the man says about them “distorting” it after the fact because he lies out of his arse on a regular basis.
What happened was it was a shitty ending and he used GoT TV to test run it. And since no one liked it he’s having to rewrite it.
The larger issue is he’s been stuck in the Meereeneese Knot since A Dance with Dragons and never got out. He lied to publishers at one point about being close to done (even called them in to set deadlines) and then finally had to admit he wasn’t.
D&D may be shite writers but the fault falls on GRRM for it being a shitshow. He stopped providing content for them to use and then wants to cry about it not being how he wanted it.

At this point, I would settle for the complete Stannis vs Boltons battle and an explanation of what happened at Summerhall.

Considering how many characters either got adapted out or ended up substantially different from the books, I’m not going to dismiss GRRM’s claims out of hand.
Simplest things to illustrate this-
1. Barristan is still alive in Winds Of Winter and is a POV character but got killed off well before that point on the show
2. Aegon VI never appeared on the show but is a major focus of the build to Winds Of Winter.
That’s an entire major plot line which couldn’t be done because they either couldn’t fit it in or just didn’t give a frick. Given how they treated Barristan’s actor when he pointed out his character was still alive in the books, I would lean toward the latter.
