i.e the Greenland Ice Sheet mass loss is accelerating and closely follows IPCC’s worst-case high emissions projections : with no signs nor any reasons for this acceleration to stop anytime soon

So why wouldn’t it be taken into account for modeling overturning Atlantic convection strength?

It will be - but none of the CMIP6 models had interactive ice sheets & we have only just put together potential datasets of ice sheet meltwater that can be used in lieu. CMIP7 (just starting) will have some models w/interactive ice sheets, and also will have models that use the predicted meltwater.
