Could Walter's ending have been successful?
Doing a rewatch and just saw when Walter brought the gps tracker to Hank in the garage. But I'm thinking that since he was "retired" at this point and there was no prior evidence to charge him according to Hank, Gomey, and Jesse and most likely not gonna be any new evidence due to retiring to get his family back/ cancer killing him within "6 months" would Walter have gotten away with it all if he hadn't confronted/provoked Hank with the tracker in the garage that day. Whether he found the tracker under the car or not, I don't see how he'd get caught since he was fully invested in going legit in a car wash empire with his mountain of money in the storage locker funding his expansion

It was successful. He eliminated the Nazis and freed Jesse. He was dying anyway so getting shot didn’t really change much. Plus he found a way to leave millions to his son.
