This came as a complete surprise to me, surely a show with such high production value would continue, or at least a full season wouldn't end? Especially considering the dismal choice of other shows. IMHO, so what if the series doesn't follow the books at this point, there are years of story lines that could be written even now. What a shame...

In this sense yes. The ending of "Babylon's Ashes" is a good point to end the show prematurely.

As you said that after Babylon's Ashes is a 30 year gap, it even makes more sense, they would have to hire a complete new cast :)

Unless you consider an open ending "proper", I doubt that they will cover the remaining 4 books (one of which is not finished yet) in one season. Especially considering a 30-year gap between "Babylon's Ashes" and "Persepolis Rising", which means they can't easily jump from book to book as before.

Better than nothing, but I seriously hoped that they will adapt all 9 novels.
