I loved this season and the finale. I guess not everyone felt this way, but Jack is a tragic figure. And his relationship with Chloe is all he has really had for much of the show. For him to realize what she means to him at the end, in my opinion, sort of sums up all his relationships and puts them into one.
This season to me is a fitting finale, but I am left wanting more. If they bring it back I will be ecstatic though. I would love to see Jack coming back and taking out the Russians and having a happy ending. But if they leave it at this, I think he had a full character development, and this ending would be appropriate.

I agree with everything you said (including the full character development part, though that can always continued to be refined/developed further in future seasons) EXCEPT the last six words. I think it was great Jack "sacrificed" himself for Chloe. In fact, I even think it would have been an appropriate series ending if, after Chloe was safely with Belcheck, Jack was sniped and killed right there. But I think it'd be pretty lousy if it ended with him on a helicopter with Russians and presumed years of torture at their hands in his future before ultimately dying in a prison.
