I don't particularly like the movies you mentioned, but their ambiguity isn't a problem.

Inception is obviously an allegory for the catharsis of fiction. The point of the open ending is that Cobb has finally accepted that it doesn't matter if he's dreaming or his children are real; he looks away from the spinning top and is moved all the same.

IIRC, the main character of Fight Club is a nobody with no distinguishing characteristics and no stable identity. It's only fitting that he go nameless.
