Gravemind might be destroyed, but it is VERY likely the Flood has a big reserve of troops beyond the edges of the Galaxy. After all: Flood came from outside of this galaxy after the previous Gravemind had been defeated by the Forerunners and the Flood retreated from this Galaxy.
Then there is Delta Halo: there are still Flood on there.
Halo Wars showed it is possible there are still Flood inside Shield Worlds too.
But the "Halo 3 is confusing" line sort of holds, if not for the Flood. Most dialogue in the cutscenes was way too soft and overshadowed by the music, Covie point of view missing also made the story too one dimensional for what it tried to tell us...
Anyways: Flood is still out there. I wouldn't be suprised if there is a new Gravemind ready to take revenge on Humanity for what they did to the Flood. Chief just delivered the biggest blow to the Flood since the Forerunners almost defeated them. But one Flood spore is all it needs to survive and come back.
They don't have any reserves the gravemind sent everything under his control to the ark. though it is obvious that other installations do still contain flood samples.
Don't take halowars so literal, there might be a few (under 5) shield worlds contaminated by the flood don't make it seem like dozens are. Until we find out exactly how that shield world was infected (cryptum 2 *cough*) we shouldn't state there are other infected onyx's.

1) The Flood is not destroyed. Halo Wars and, likely, the Legendary planet hint that other planets still exist fully controlled by the Flood.
2) The Gravemind, listed as a Transsentient (or, demi-god, maube full god), has appeared thus far to be completely incapable of dying.
If the Prisoner=Gravemind, he's survived, what? At least 2 Halo blasts, maybe 3, got incinerated by the Covenant fleet, the Forerunner fleets as well way back when, got nuked by the Master Chief on High Charity, and survived for several million years in captivity with no food or water to speak of.
This son of a -blam!- just doen't die. And believe me when I say, he has a fail safe. What we saw in the games was just a small infestation.
1. There was no indication that the legendary planet is infected not to mention it wouldn't make sense for MB to send MC there. And as i said before we shouldn't assume other shield worlds are infect because we have 1 single account of that.
2. Assuming that the flood are only present in this galaxy. If we were to destroy every forerunner installation housing the flood, every sample of the flood, and then NOVA bomb the gravemind; the flood would be officially gone.
the only reason it seems like we can't kill it is because there are dozens of installations across space that have flood and possible several of them are contaminated.
So while we kill one gravemind another could give rise in another space and claim to be the same one due to our genetic memory theroy, thus they seem invincible.
3.Cryptum implies that if you were on the rings (old installations atleast) that you wouldn't be harmed or they have a tuning for that.Huhh? the forerunners planned but never fought the mind due to MB defecting, the covenant never fought the gravemind directly and neither did MC or humanity.
