Are there any good front ends that anyone would suggest that when a game has been loaded and finished played, after a certain time period of inactivity, exit the game and return to the front end's menu?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't that be something MAME itself would have to do and not the front end?
IIRC, AdvanceMAME has a feature like that.

Advmame has that featture and Advmenu has a feature to load RAMDOM game, then after amount of inactivity, it exist back to FE and LOOPS with another RANDOM game.

GameEx can do that. I think it's a registered feature, though. The option will be available in setup but won't operate if it's a full version feature only.

+1 on GameEx. I have the full version and I know it does exactly what you are asking.

Weird that I was thinking about this last night or the other. I seem to recall somebody figured out baseline MAME will do this, and it's ridiculously simple, but it has to be part of the command line.
