"The Truth" is likely a *chan troll-hoax, probably from 4chan /v/. If it happens, nice, but I'd rather not give some anonymous troll the pleasure of emotionally investing in what is likely a falsehood.
After reading statements made by Ms. Merizan and Dr. Muzyka, as well as the recent Facebook comment about endings, I'm finding it harder to believe any kind of ending DLC was planned, IT related or otherwise. Many games get sloppy toward the end, but BioWare has been more attentive to unsolicited suggestions from fans than other developers tend to be. They have EA's funding backing them, so I would not be pessimistic about eventually getting a/some DLC ending(s) just yet.
Don't get your hopes up, but don't count BW out either.

It puts a very large hole in the evidence that the 1M1 was a figment of Shep's imagination/part of the hallucination. Considering the images were there on the Citadel during ME1 (that is the citadel, look at the background, it is virtually the same as the scene in ME3 with TIM) one would have to conclude that the images are real.
On the flip side however, theories based on the 1M1 could still be legitimate - remember how close Shepard was to Sovereign during that screenshot....
No. It was seen in ME1 because we were in a part of the Citadel where humans and other organics lived and used. Of course it'd be full of stuff from them. The part of the Citadel where starchild was is not. He very specifically tells Shepard that he is the first organic there ever. How did something that is apparently from current day races get up to a hidden part of the Citadel where no organic has ever been?
Keepers' doing, probably. The 1m1 thing might have some meta reason, but if you take the sequence at face value, it's not really that weird.
Not as weird as the strange devices waiting for Shepard there. It doesn't make sense for any of them to be there or for them to do any of the things the self-admitted avatar of the Reapers (!!!)
merely implies to Shepard that they do. I would want an Alliance tech team brought there, like Crucible techs shouldn't be supervising the link-up anyway! WTF, Hackett! I thought you were on top of things.
In retrospect, maybe running into the Reapers' harvesting beam is a bad idea. That whole segment with the bodies in the Citadel corridor reminded me uncomfortably of the Prothean vision from the first Mass Effect.

Oh yeah, and regarding the piles of Onyx and Phoenix armor near the Citadel Conduit mentioned in the OP: you can see them through a sniper scope before Harbinger zaps Shepard. They aren't hallucinatory unless Shepard was hallucinating prior to being zapped. Reaper forces must have been slaughtering Alliance resistance en masse.
