I am here because i googled this same question, but i think i have a hypothesis of my own, which would be that yes it should stop eventually. There are vast areas of the Earth that have no area of isostatic activity - check out the wikipedia on post glacial rebound and there is a map that shows regions. I would imagine that this since this is an energy state issue , balancing with gravity, that the system would tend to settle as soon as possible. If we look at varying geologic areas effected by isostatic rebound it seems like they occur, in then remain static. iso static , a series of teeter-totter weights and balances, on the surface of the crust.
