Pretty sure it's inevitable. The Grimm Dragon is going to destroy the tower of Beacon and no one will be able to stop it. Maybe they will defeat it afterwards or at least scare it away but ultimately the bad guys will win this one. I see no reason to mention the consequences of losing a single CCT means losing the rest apart from ensuring fans can make sense of why the CCT falling in the finale is something really bad.

Well we know the CCT and the School are two separate things. We see Weiss go to the CTT during Volume 2. Ironwood and Ozpin seem to both be talking about the Beacon Tower. Whether it stands, for its namesake, as a beacon of hope, or if it has a literal significance to keeping Vale safe is hard to say.

For example, for all we know, the academy could be somehow containing an even MORE dangerous Grimm. Or it could just be that the Hunter academy falling could crush any hope the citizens of Vale have.

Which does bring the question of whether we will see the CCT in danger. As right now, the Dragon, and likely most Grimm, are fixated on targeting the school. Leaving the tower safe. Unless you get someone like revenge driven Neo, or you have Cinder, Mercury, and/or Emerald go over and knock it down.

As for one of your further down posts in regards to the lack of Weiss discussion. People have a tendancy to fixate on things they don't like before mentioning positive things. I also think the idea of Weiss using her summon in the coming episodes was widely expected, and thus, does not generate a ton of immediate feedback. However, positively speaking, it is great development for her.
