It's sad when a show ends, but they can't keep going forever. The good thing with 5-0 is that it always has felt like the camera was an observer dropping in on the character's lives, and while it does have ongoing plotlines, you don't need to have deep knowledge of them to enjoy the show. So, I think with good writing (and the writing in the last couple of seasons has been very good), I think they can end it well. It appears that the writers and producers were told a long time ago, because this last season has wrapped up a few ongoing storylines, and a few episodes have felt like they are getting the characters into a good places to end their own individual stories. Still, it lasted 10 years, with 20-24 episodes a year in a landscape where a lot of high budget action TV shows have lasted two or three seasons, sometimes with 10 episodes a season.
