I have no idea how to translate this but it probably involves 'llegar' ;)
It means that a problem or situation has been developing for some time, and now we are seeing some major consequence of that.
For example, watching the riot in the US capitol, it would make sense to say "So this is what it's come to"; we have put up with 4 years of Trump insanity, and this is what it has come to, an armed insurrection in the heart of the country's political system.

It roughly means: After all the struggle we've had, I am disappointed that this is how it has ended up.
The "Great" is sarcastic. "So this is what it's come to" Means everything up until now has resulted in this--a disappointing conclusion.

Great = NOT great, said sarcastically.
So this is what it's come to = a resigned but disappointed acceptance/realization that the end result [of a life, a project, an adventure, etc.] is not very good.
