The real question is how this translates to actual protection against serious disease. These increased responses sound impressive but, beyond some threshold, additional response offers only negligibly better protection.

Do we know what those thresholds are?

No, at least to Christian Drosten [1], he explained multiple times in his podcast, that it is quite hard to compare antibody titers from different laboratories and therefore it is hard to define general safe thresholds.
