I also like this boss music, we've heard it before but I forget where.

I think Ultima Weapon and Ultima Buster share their theme with the Statues? It's either Decisive Battle or Fierce Battle, I forget which one is the 'normal' boss theme and which is the 'elite'.

Unfortunately the third one has a super cheap finishing move (or I got unlucky) where it kills two of my characters outright then immediately fades away, removing them from the party.

It's an instant death attack that ignores immunity to instant death, and that's just not right. It can be evaded and the Golem summon also nullifies it, but "super cheap" is 100% accurate.

The medley here is gorgeous, showing off how absolutely amazing the OST has been.

FFVI ending medley is a strong contender for best song in the series. If it's allowed, at least, since a twenty-minute medley of a dozen-plus songs is kind of cheating...

and Shadow bizarrely decides to stop running and... stays there? Not sure what to make of this, nobody addresses it.

The ending shows everyone else on the airship - even, in a quick pan, Gogo and Umaro - but not Shadow. I am confident that he sends Interceptor away because he intends to die, and doesn't want his dog to die alongside him. The context provided by Shadow's dreams may help you with your own speculation.
