Neo Queen Serenity's awakening and King Endymion's spirit returning to his body were not shown onscreen.
Sailor Chibi Moon never received a smaller version of the Cutie Moon Rod.
Sailor Moon, as Neo-Queen Serenity, and Chibiusa, in her own Princess form, both tapped into the full strength of their respective Silver Crystals and annihilated Death Phantom and the Malefic Black Crystal for good.

They continued to transform into Sailor Guardians via "Star Power" until they evolved into Super Sailor Guardians from Pegasus's power in the fourth season.

In a vision, she became Princess Serenity and Tuxedo Mask became Prince Endymion, the Spiral Heart Moon Rod appeared between them and the broken Crystal Star then became the Cosmic Heart Compact.
Sailor Moon never met her future self, Neo-Queen Serenity face-to-face. Besides, the Inner Sailor Senshi, Luna, and Artemis did not do it the same with their future selfs, too.
Chibiusa did not return from the future until later on in the 3rd season to have proper training as a Sailor Guardian.
