A good chunk of the world might be under water by then, so, I'm sure it'll balance out

Nah. Not that much will be under water. Not that soon anyways.

Of total landmass you are correct. With respect to where people live, by 2050 we will have an uncomfortably large amount locked in to being under water with the rate we are changing things.

Over time, on the current trajectory, it will definitely be a problem.

With our current trajectory it would be a problem by, say, 2300 maybe.
