I'd rather pester the IdP to provide you with SAML2 Logout endpoints,
so you can at least try how this works in your environment.

That's not even valid XML.
Either way I don't see documentation that says you can add the return
parameter to the shibboleth2.xml, so you can't just make up your own
configuration and expect the software to work with it.

I already pointed you to the documentation at
https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SHIB2/NativeSPLogoutInitiator
which has this text:

 "Finally, you can supply a parameter named "return" as a query string
  parameter containing a URL. If logout completes successfully, the SP
  will redirect the browser to that location."

My other email has a full example on how to construct such a link to
integrate with your application,
