I used to be a huge fan of DC, but since long ago, I only selectively read chapters where the B.O. or Kaito KID appears, because the rest is full of fillers and boring cases. The cases have stopped being interesting... I just hope to see the ending before Gosho Aoyama dies.

He already said it will be a happy ending, and that the reader can already imagine how the BO will be taken down with Amuro and Akai in the squad.
You see, Detective Conan is simply a detective fiction series with an overarching plot, so the series has a specific target audience - people looking for different types of cases. After going through the motions with what you think are the "interesting cases" (serial killer running rampant in a sealed-off-from-outside-world setting full of high stakes and suspense and emotional reveals - the usual generic murder mystery plot that, contrary to popular belief from all these Then There Were None ripoff series, does NOT represent the genre in any way, shape or form), aren't what Conan ever set out to do in the first place.
The overarching plot just allows the characters to be multi-dimensional and have multiple identities to them compared to its rival series, but being a long-runner in its style, the status quo must stay, which is why these side characters exist anyway, to make it all the more interesting.

The amount of information Gosho is capable of sharing with the drawings and dialogue play a crucial role in this (it's not about how many pages there are in a chapter, it's about what kind of cases there are in a volume).

I like DC and spend money on purchasing the hard copies over the years, even for the non BO cases. For entertainment purpose. But fairly speaking, I think the short stories aren't as interesting as around the first 30 volumes. It gets pretty much repetitive with the same format, plain characters and plot. I don't know if you read Q.E.D (also a detective manga), but it beats DC in terms of cases variety, storytelling creativity and amount of information. It is a matter of personal taste after all. In short, DC is not the best detective story some people can find (with the exception for the BO plot, and probably the non-canon movies). So yes, it's normal many people get impatient with DC and only want it to focus on its best part.
I still appreciate them as they are there to help build up the tension for BO plot. But I suspect Gosho only wants to keep it as long as he could. DC has become a brand, a commercial success, and even has a lot of cultural impacts. Even I would also feel sad if DC ends, because I have stuck with it since 1996 and it's like part of my childhood. But I do hope it gets down to the main show soon.

He’s the second in command, which is pretty much a confirmation that the arc after this one is the final one, the boss arc. So yes, in a way this is the first concrete confirmation we have that we are nearing the end. Still, the signs to this have all been there for a while. I made a topic about this around over two years ago: http://forums.dctp.ws/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=9183
