So if McLaren-Honda remains an utterly noncompetitive car even in 2016 season and there is no obvious opportunity to move up, then I hope Alonso will move on to something else.

I really wouldn't worry about a driver like Alonso's motivation. It's actually that aspect that might have harmed him a little if anything - over eager and ruffles feathers!
He will continue to be a top driver capable of delivering performance until he stops driving.
