No, most players would agree to a draw in an even position, like queen vs queen..etc. This myth that people make random moves trying to flag people in drawn endgames is BS. That almost never happens in professional chess. There are endgames that take hundreds of moves to force mate with perfect play every move, so this rule is ridiculous.
The longest tournament chess game ever to be played was between Nikolić–Arsović, in 1989, which lasted for 269 moves and took 20 hours and 15 minutes to complete a drawn game. This was due to the fact that the 50 move rule was not present.

Yes right, but that endgame was not winnig with a pawn on g3. The knight pawn must be blocked on g6 with a Knight on g5. Even when the pawn is on g5 with a knight on g4 it is a draw! Karjakin only won the game as he told also himself because he opponent did not defend it well. But funny is it of course after all to win like this. The chance to get something like this on the board is rather small.

the mating with knights is fun to watch. there are some mating puzzles that are really cool with this theme.
The fun ones are with a checkmate in a small specified number of moves and the ones where you must sac one knight to checkmate with the other. The rest is just excruciatingly difficult.

You still cannot repeat 3 times, so after every possible position has been reached twice, the game definitely and finally ends in the next move. ;-)

Under FIDE competition rules that's only if someone claims it. It definitely and finally ends in the next move if every position has been reached four times.
Under FIDE basic rules there is neither any limitation on the number of moves nor any repetition rule.
Nowadays, 75 moves without pawn/capture and 5fold repetition are considered end of game in the same way as mate or stalemate.

Only if competition rules are in force, in which case either player may also claim a draw after 50 moves. In this endgame there are frustrated wins for either side under competition rules.

No, I think most players would agree to a draw anyway, but that's the beauty of chess, these complex endgames which take hundred of perfect moves to force mate!
