If they appeal and lose, then it goes to Parliament. What then? If sufficient MPs vote against, directly overruling their constituents in many cases, May's next obvious move is to call an election. I wouldn't fancy being a Labour MP under those circumstances, and there might be one or two nervous arch-Europhile Tories as well.

A general election in early 2017 would be an absolute gift to UKIP under Paul Nuttall also.

No, I think if they find themselves faced with the reality of overturning Brexit, most MPs will find their instinct for self preservation kicking in.
