So what we need is detailed topo maps of the bed and thickness of the GIS, and to work out a map of the «net buoyancy», or some such (i.e. total ice area density subtracted from the area density of a hypothetical column of water resting on the bed and extending up to sea level).

«Neogene extension and basin deepening in the West Antarctic rift inferred from comparisons with the East African rift and other analogs WE LeMasurier — Geology, 2008 intl-geology.geoscienceworld.org Abstract The West Antarctic rift system differs from other volcanically active rift systems in two unusual respects: (1) the rift floor lies 1000 — 2000 m lower in elevation than others, and (2) four interior ice - filled troughs extend between 1500 m and 2555 m below sea level.

If you mean sea levels hundreds of feet above current levels, or ice caps that once extended to the tropics, then sure.
