And another draw.
We are certainly getting our money's worth as far as move counts are concerned, at least.

I usually have low expectations for the last round. But a sharp reversed Noteboom today

Congratulations to Ju on retaining her title.
She created a very unbalanced position and played it better than her opponent today. The game deserves to be remembered as one of the great last game wins.

When was the last decisive final classical game with the men's title - Topalov v Anand in 2010?

Yes, and that was the only one to have happened when the players were, as here, all square at the time. (Even counting those where one player was a point behind, we only have two Karpov v Kasparov matches and the obscure circumstances of Lasker v Schlechter). Although Botvinnik may well have won game 24 v Bronstein had it been he who needed to do so, also Euwe v Alekhine 1935.

Yes, I forgot that, silly me.
But this win by Ju along with the win in Topalov v Anand might be the only decisive scheduled last game when scores were even - though like many others I suspect, I am not so well versed in the history of women's world championships.
