My wife just primered the ceiling and is content with the way it looks.
Can it be left that way?

Primer and and finish coat paint have different characteristics.
Primer is intended to seal off the surface it's applied to and to
provide a surface for another coat to adhere well to. A finish coat
is designed to be durable, provide a surface that can hold up well to
occasional cleaning, physical contact, etc.

Given that it's a ceiling, it certainly would not be as bad as leaving
an exterior wall or an interior wall with primer, instead of regular
paint. But if it were my home, I'd put a coat of regular paint on it.
