I admit to not knowing how other fans reacted, but Illyria was not a character I hated at all. Nothing I have looked at suggests this was considered a bad decision or that the character was "pretty universally hated" by fans. The show ended mainly because viewership kept dropping as it is the kind of niche drama that usually doesn't last with viewers and only degrades in quality when continued past a certain point. I think it ended pretty much where it should have ended.

note how fast her arc ended... and how little runtime she got after that arc even though she was a literal god when apocalyptic shit was going on... she was cut due to feedback. I'm pretty sure it was even mentioned in a commentary or dvd feature it was fan reaction that caused it.
