I'm sympathetic to this approach, but I also think that the longer there is serious work being done on cryptography that might be useful in the event that quantum does turn out to be an issue, the better. The worst case scenario in my mind is that we rush the introduction of new cryptography to bitcoin and it ends up having vulnerabilities. So if there are people who do work on it now and it gets poked at and hardened it seems like a positive to me.
