Fool has "never been wise" and won't be able to stay away from his Catalyst despite his "last dance" dramatics. Neither can Fitz disappear. Both are central to the ultimate ending of the story thus far, not to mention that an uninvolvement in important matters would be going against their true selves. I can't see how the ending can possibly reach full conclusion without their input or presence. They are the White Prophet and Catalyst for the entire world, not just the realm as we know it. They have to be back, in some form, even if Robin tells us they won't be. You can't fool me, Tangle Leader !!*more* (link contains TM spoilers with high levels of elfbark!)
