I suspect that Celestia would firstly be very, very concerned that she is well, intact and that she has no lasting after-effects from the Element of Magic going haywire whilst in contact with her. I would expecct her to forgive Sunset (especially given the very clear evidence of reformation Twilight could offer her) and there may be a few little tears to go with the phrase "Welcome home, my little pony!"

FWIW, I do think that Celestia will blame herself for not detecting Sunset's destructive ambitions at an earlier point and better handling them. However, I suspect that any such story will raise the issue of the vision Sunset saw in the Mirror of Worlds. Such an investigation will probably lead to the revelation of some external agency behind this vision (like a version of Sombra from a parallel dimension).
