Yeah, this ending is one of the more controversial Kamen Rider endings. Im still puzzled on the ending myself but this series is still one of the most interesting Kamen Rider shows imo. It has a vibe lol.
Like Best Kamen Rider said, the first movie is more of an alternate ending to the series, but it's probably one of my favorite Kamen Rider things overall.
I've never seen the most recent movie yet, so I'm interested to see how it follows up on the show.
As far as Hesei vs Showa Roder goes, while it does take place during Gaim, I don't think it spoils much of Gaim itself, but it's up to you if you wanna watch it still.

Faiz is definitely a controversial season. For a lot of people, it's either S tier or F tier, no middle ground. It's S tier for me, personally. I remember how much I was hook on this season. I keep wanting to watch the next episode after finishing one. And I end up finishing this season in like 3 to 4 days.
One major thing that I kinda dislike about Faiz is that the power up items just came out of nowhere. The Faiz accel watch was throw into Takumi's face by Masato. And the final form item was drop off a roof. That is so freaking random. No spoiler, compare to how the final form item of the last season before Faiz being introduced, which was Ryuki, this is a big downgrade. Personally, Ryuki has the best final form debut in the Heisei era (2000 to 2019).
Also, the movie "Paradise lost" is a parallel universe. A lot of movies of the Kamen Rider in the first phase of the Heisei era (2000 to 2009) are parallel universe. Only from Kamen Rider Double onward, the movies are actually stick to the main story. But, the movie "paradise regained", the 20th anniversary movie for Faiz, is actually telling the story what is happening after the main series that you just finished. Also, you should not watch the movie crossover with Super Sentai. It's actually a movie of Kamen Rider Gaim. Faiz was just put in their because Gaim was aired 10 years after the season of Faiz. You will need to watch Gaim if you want to watch that movie.
