In order to get enough Luminite bars to craft every item that requires it (excluding dye) you would need to kill him at least 15 times (on normal mode)... Considering you need to beat him at least twice to make one set of armor which is almost required to beat him with any consistency, and as someone who plays solo, that seems incredibly ridiculous. Especially since they keep buffing him, and removing every strategy that actually makes it possible.

Beating him doesn't unlock anything in your world, there's nothing that makes the weapons and armour you get from him necessary. Everything you do in a world up until lets say the cultist, you can easily do without them. The only things that they would be useful for are the cultist pillars and moon lord, all of which you have to have beaten just to make them in the first place. And the fact that they have labled him as "the final boss" tells me they don't intend to have anything come after him.
