What? A final review is useless? Never. Even if you aren't going
to do anything more on a particular project, the feedback you
get in the final review will be valuable as you conceive and
execute your next project. Any good advice is valuable, no matter
when you get it.
I have to agree with you on preferring mid-project crits, though,
especially when there are several of them. They allow for a more
thorough investigation of the design possibilities. Also, a good
studio culture is extremely helpful.
