I think the whole point of the curse over the town and the one over Rumple himself is that love is something that gets in the way so you can't have both the curse and love. However the point of Emma being the Saviour was to give everyone their happy ending back, Rumple's happy ending  just  happens to  be maintaining his magic while still getting to be with Belle and Bae.
