I just finished!
I'm not sure I liked the ending too much (spoilers).
Nothing really ever seemed very difficult for Tengo and Aomame. Aomame's guess about being able to get back to 1984 using the staircase next to the expressway turned out to be correct, and nothing hindered them getting there.
The final Ushikawa chapter seemed to imply that Buzzcut and Ponytail would show up at the last second to prevent them from escaping 1Q84, but they never did. That whole chapter seemed to be kind of pointless.
