Really depends on the game, story and pacing. But I think both are good. You want a final boss as a a climax to the game. But the victory lap is a nice way to end the story on a nice note and wrap up all the lose ends in the story and give closer.
Again, it really depends. I also like prologues, but don't make them too long. The one in RDR2 for example was waaaaaayyyy too long
