As you noted, you don't have to kill the Summoner at all to learn the location of the tomb. This particular tidbit of information along with the portal to Canyon of the Magi is linked to the journal, so technically you don't receive a quest reward for defeating the Summoner.
As much as I love Act 2, it is basically filled with rewardless quests other than Radament. Every other "reward" is simply something you need to progress. Come to think of it, Act 2 gives the least amount of rewards for all the acts. It would be nice if they added something in there for the Summoner.
Totally unrelated, I thought some sort of reward for getting all the waypoints would be nifty. It might encourage people to go places they've never been.
I'd also like to note that rushers generally don't bother with Act 3 at all. I've lost count of how many people I've met that had no idea about the Golden Bird or Lam Esen's Tome. *shakes head*
