You say that, but I really do think Laugh Tale is the final arc
Oda thinks he can finish the series in three years (I seriously doubt he'll finish it in less than 5 but that's beside the point). I don't think he'd be saying that if he had some massive 100+ chapter long arc planned out after Laugh Tale. I think there's only three arcs left: Elbaf, Lodestar, and Laughtale. Maybe a short setup arc in there and probably an epilogue, but other than that, I think that'll be it

Imu sama will still be the final antagonist even if Luffy must fight someone else to bring Imu sama down.
Imu sama has narrative significance that Spandam and Charloss did not.
Stopping Imu sama will be crucial in a way that stopping neither of them was.
Imu is the embodiment of 800 years of tyranny and oppression; that significance trumps all powerscaling considerations. The powerscaling serves the story not vice versa. Oda will find a way to make it work out.
The Gorosei already exist to serve as Imu sama's bodyguards. Oda has leeway to introduce arbitrary other characters to fight in Imu sama's place if he wants to.
But that won't change the fact that Imu sama is very much still the big bad that must be taken down to liberate the world.
We might even have a case where Imu sama uses their weapon to try and destroy the entire world or something, and Luffy has to stop them. I don't know how Oda will handle it, but however he does, Imu sama will be the Big Bad.

Not necessarily. Roger's reaction when he found the One Piece was laughter. I think the One Piece is more likely to be something quaint and funny rather than anything earth-shattering
Blackbeard represents the dark side of freedom. He's a distortion of Luffy's ideals. Having someone like him be the final boss just feels right imo
