I think if Cid finds out things are real and/or the girls find out he made it all up, that is pretty much the end of the series (in this comedy-filled form). That is the secret sauce that makes the balance between comedy/serious work. Take away that ingredient and the whole thing just becomes serious. I personally think the serious story that is happening unbeknownst to Cid in Eminence is actually a really good dark fantasy story. So, if the comedy were removed through the loss of Cid's ignorance, it might still be a good story, but it would be dramatically different in tone.
I just think it'd be a good idea for a closing arc, opens up more options for the final chapters
It would certainly be interesting. I can imagine it would play out really differently depending on who found out first (Cid finding out it's real vs. the girls finding out he has been acting).
