Well, you should look further.

We say much of that out loud, singing it with a particular well known
tune. Non Jeckes preserved it in the form of ... An'im Zemiraus (ok,
it is not exactly the same tune, because the AZ tune has ever so
slightly evolved in many places, but it is close enough). That tune is
used for Ma'hei uMasse through the end, except for Makhnisei Ra'hamim
and the lone Avinu Malkeinu.

Result: no one skips from mi she'ana until the end in our place (Mi
she'ana is also said out loud, in a prompt/response model, with the
shatz saying the mi she'ana le... hu ya'anenu part, and the tzibbur
responding hu ya'anenu).
