"Well... some of us made it"
I assume you're incinuating that John and Cortana didn't make it through because of that line. In which case, I disagree.
Cortana may just be referring to those who fell on the Ark, like Johnson and Miranda. Notice that the surroundings in the Legendary Ending are very different to those we see around the Ark. So it must be somewhere else.
Like I said, Precursor Rainbow World... Hopefully...
You disagree.... and thats fine. We just don't know enough to make an informed statement. My impression is that Arbiter made it back to Earth as the portal shutdown and the MC just didn't make it. The reason why he didn't die is that the Halo pulse didn't work properly as the Halo was not complete, it destroyed itself and seriously damaged the Ark, and the back end of the Dawn just drifted on.
When Cortana says it may be years I think the implication is that they are drifting in space for a very very very long time and that the ship drifts slowly back into the galaxy over that time randomly encountering an active Forerunner planet. My impression of that is that the Forerunner are now active again, emerging from their shield worlds.
This is just my hunch and I know that its not likely.
