What increase in mean global temperature would lead to the "complete
collapse of the West Antarctica Ice Sheet"?
I cannot answer your question specifically. However -
Adapting to our changing climate
www.atse.org.au/uploads/Focus149.pdf
"For the West Antarctica Ice Sheet, the major concern
is that warmed ocean water is penetrating beneath
the ice sheet that is grounded below sea level, melting
it at its base. There are observations indicating both of
these processes may already be occurring. However,
our current understanding is too limited to estimate
how much faster sea level could rise."
So, what value is there in these exaggerated hypotheses?

Motivation to get the models right.

So, the models are wrong?
