If you look at just ME3, it's something that spans the game. If you look at the entire ME trilogy, it looks like something that was introduced at the last moment before the "final conflict" that'll magically end the conflict.

Personally I was hoping they'd kill reapers by weaponizing Mass Effect relays. They've been in the game since the beginning and we've seen how destructive they are when blown up in the Arrival DLC. It'd also be less DEM'y than a device introduced in the finale.
I think the mass relays are used from discussion I've seen. There was specific discussion of what would be done when they were cut off from the mass relays. This is very similar to the plot of the fall of Hyperion novel, which is regarded as one of the best scifi novels of the past two decades or so.
