I prefer to read the ending as:

It doesn't matter if he lived or not. He won against New York. But at best, he is now a walking dead husk. Most of his allies are gone, he's up for indictment thanks to Carlo Gervasi and his dimwitted son, his kids are tainted by his life, and he is closer to the living embodiment of his mother than he knows. Any enlightenment that he found in the desert or in his coma dream are gone.

Basically = Was the ride worth it?

While I'm of the opinion that Tony is killed, the ending can work both ways which shows why it's great. You're right in that it really doesn't matter. Tony is dead either way.
