The dreaded black frame at the end of h264 exports with Adobe Premiere and Media Encoder seems to have been fixed with 2024 versions!

 Looks like Adobe listened and finally put people to work fixing this ongoing problem.

I can report that Adobe Media Encoder 24.1.1 seem to be immune, and exports h264 properly, ending on the last frame of the program, not on an auto generated black frame.

I tested Exporting h264 directly from Premiere 24.1, and the bug is fixed with Premiere as well. No more black frame at the end of h264 exports. Yeah! Finally.

Thank you Adobe!
