idk if a story was only held together by its ending, it probably wasn't worth the time, imo. so I love spoilers and can't get enough of them. like if spoilers are so bad, how can you possibly reread/whatever the work?
Not just ending spoilers - I was recently watching the anime HunterXHunter with my gf. In the series a major plot development
spoiler
is a ruthless inhuman “villain” figure learning empathy over the course of the arc, forming a human friendship, and after surviving certain death, giving up his dreams of conquest and supremacy to die alone with the only human connection he’s ever formed.
Over the arc we see the antagonists portrayed as more human over time and the previous protagonists and designated heroes, your typical shonen hero types, proving more selfish and brutal than the supposedly monstrous antagonists
By the time of the designated villain’s absolutely heartbreaking death my partner was taken off guard at how the plot turned and was crying at the end

In that case it’s not spoiling the ending necessarily since the series continues for a good while. The gradual experience over time builds understanding of the characters though, and while it doesn’t ruin the story to have foreknowledge I prefer to have this kind of story unfold at the pace it intended yknow?
