Okay this won't be a popular idea but here it goes.
There has been a non stop TNJ war between Naruto and Obito and I think that the whole idea is that this war isn't just about power its about ideals of the two of them.
Its Naruto who doesn't give up on the world vs Obito who has given up on the world.
Kishi actually said in an interview (find it yourself if you want to check) that the message of the manga was to not give up on the world.
Even if Obito is defeated then that wouldn't really be closure to his character or to his ideal war with Naruto, that's why I think that in the end at his defeat he will admit that he was wrong or something like that. Its the ultimate defeat for him not to just be beaten in battle but to have his ideals destroyed.
Naruto almost gave up on his ideals when Neji died and Obito almost TNJ him, but Naruto's friends saved him.
Plus it wouldn't really bring closure to Minato's or Kakashi's character if Obito is just killed and forgotten about.
So ultimately I think that the only way to bring true closure to Obito's character is that he is beaten both in battle and in TNJ.
