What happens when Germany can't fund the EU and all its new debts on Ukraine? Who is actually going to pay the bill for all those refurb Leo 1 etc etc?

For Germany, a black day has come. The country's economy is on the brink of collapse. The newspaper Bild reports that German companies are forced to reduce production, and the competitiveness of strong sectors has fallen to the lowest level in the last 30 years.
The problem also lies within the German government itself: officials and politicians have introduced so many new rules and restrictions (including those related to anti-Russian sanctions) that they are becoming confused in them. This leads to even more bureaucracy.Experts surveyed by the publication believe that the situation is so critical that Germany may introduce strict credit and monetary regulation. In particular, they may freeze interest rates on loans.

Germany is already in a recession. Germany goes down, the EU collapses. They are major contributors to the union, the UK did brexit and left. Germany and the UK were the major contributors. Other nations were always handout receivers.
It really depends on what timeframe you are talking about. 6m - no way, 12m some, 24m double, 36month shitload. All assuming there is political support that NATO needs to go all in. (i.e mass insanity)
