I did find XCOM 2 too short. There was loads more stuff I wanted to do (I didn't even start looking at Psi, for example) but the game forced me into the endgame when I didn't really want to.
This is one of the good things about the WotC add-on. The addition of the Chosen, along with the covert ops angle, means that you can "game" the game to a degree and put off the endgame for basically as long as you want.
It has its own problems as a result, but I found it made it possible to go through the game at more or less my own pace (with the odd bit of urgency as the Avatar project creeps up and you have no means of getting it down)
Even in the vanilla XCOM2, the Avatar thing is a huge improvement over the terrible "panic" system in the original. I get what they were going for, and it really isn't XCOM if it's not horrifically easy to lose the entire game if you drop the ball a bit, but it still felt a bit too aggressive.
