I'm very sure of one thing: We're not getting a tragic ending.

The visions that Sam have been seeing are the failed drafts of God. That's what he wanted the story to end. So, we're basically seeing the show from God's perspective at the moment. The writers are basically showing us, via the MoTW episodes, that God is nothing but a terrible writer.

The events from Seasons 1 to 14 absolutely still matter. It's just that now, in the final season, we're about to see a story wherein Sam, Dean and Cas taking back their free will and write their own story/ending.
