If all three divisions were to venture to Shiganshina for the final battle that would be equally as epic as an interior battle. It would also make Ewrin's death more sad if Pyxis and Nile were there as Erwin has history with them both, and they could avoid having the Garrison and Military Police all get killed by giving them Pieck and Galliard to deal with. After the Survey Corps gets all but destroyed it could motivate some of the slackers in the Garrison and the Military Police to enlist in the Survey Corps in their memory. Admittedly, one of the few nonsensical things that would get me on board with the battle being in Mitras instead of Shiganshina would be if I got to see more Nile, and especially his reaction to Erwin dying.

I was disappointed in the Return to Shiganshina arc where Nile's talking about how he didn't believe Erwin back when they were younger. Darius or Pixis (I forget which) tells him he ought to apologize when Erwin gets back. But Erwin never comes back and we don't see Nile's reaction to that. Feels like a wasted setup. Actually Nile and Erwin is why I hoped the main struggle would occur in the interior because I liked their rivalry as they did have some degree of respect for each other as Nile even put his neck on the line for Erwin in Uprising, and I would'ved loved to have seen these two fight side by side after finally achieving some middle ground which would make Erwin's death even sadder espeically if Nile is witness to it. I think it also could've given Nile a drive to make the Military Police more effective just like Marlowe had hoped to achieve.
