Imladris has just left Hobbiton.
Tolkien

To me, there is only one eucatastrophe. Why? Because in Fairy Stories he said the "happy ending." You cannot have a eucatastrophe without dyscatastrophe. However...maybe there is an Ultimate Eucatastrophe (which the Sil is lacking imo) with Sub-Eucatastrophes.

Ultimate Eucatastrophe in the Hobbit: Eagles.
Silm: -_-
LotR: when the Black Gate crumbles

Sub-Eucatastrophes in the Hobbit: escaping the Goblin Caves, etc.
Sub-Eucatastrophe in the Silm: Earendil, etc.
Sub-Eucatastrophe in LotR: Helm's Deep, etc.
