No. Ballads can have all kinds of endings, happy, sad, or even ambiguous.

Not at all. Some operas end on a very somber note. For instance, in 'La Bohème', Mimi dies at the end, which is far from a happy ending. The nature of the story being told in the opera determines the ending, and not all stories are meant to end happily. Different composers and librettists explore a wide range of emotions and outcomes in their works.
