Sea level is a function of gravity and tectonic activity and is for the most part independent of weather and temperature. Even if all the ice did melt, the added weight of that water would likely cause some shifts in the seafloor and the resulting change in sea level would be minimal.

Most of the predicted sea level change isn’t from melt, but thermal expansion.

Not to say that is working out well either.
