I'm 100% convinced that the Tories would lose a General Election if Labour throws it's weight behind Brexit in name only - or even actually remaining.
I'm less convinced, this may be true in London but a lot of traditional Labour voters are still pretty pro-Brexit.
The remain stance didn't do much for the Lib Dems in the last election.

I've seen this before as a reason why a remain stance won't work at an election but I find it unconvincing.
The Lib Dems were (and still are probably) such a damaged brand, and such a difficult sell at the last election where stopping the Tories was the most important thing. They could have promised the world on a stick, fully costed and perfectly means tested, but would still have been hammered.
I don't think you should write off any policy because it didn't work for the lib Dems.

Which is why it's going to get interesting, as I suspect the few sane Tories in the Cabinet know this.
So how do they pull back from the abyss? They have to make a decision - March 2019 is coming - but to do so means the end of May, GE and Corbyn.
Or they work out some method of emasculating the lunatics who have beaten the Eurosceptic drum for the past 40 years.
