Now to the question - I know on regular tickets folks sometimes 'miss the last leg' for hidden city pricing on regular tickets. Is it the same with the last leg of an RTW? Basically if I got off in LAX and took a non-oneworld ticket to my home would it be likely to run into problems for not completing an RTW itinerary?
No, not likely (unless you did it frequently). But given that you have a year from first flight to last, another option would be to book it as an extended stop in LAX, with LAX-EZE many months out. Then you can use it the outbound of a different trip to EZE (or somewhere else), with miles or a cheap ticket back.
