The thermal coefficient of expansion of water is about 0.00021 per deg C, at

It does. Most of the ocean mass is at temperature where the coefficient
is a lot closer to zero. Some is at temperature where the coefficient is
negative.

In other words it's not really an issue we need to worry about. At least not for
a millenium or two.
