dgb gives talks about the current status of NISTPQC often, 3 months ago he claimed they were only ~0% finished checking the submissions for even basic proof errors like unproven theorems/conjecture claimed in the submission papers to avoid a repeat of Asiacrypt 2004 where “OCB2” was standardized in 2009 then completely broken in 2018 due to finding a proof error, let alone ready to begin any kind of cryptanalysis on the risks left by the various proofs. Round 3 is already next year too with still a mountain of work to do. Kind of early for IBM to declare they're going to run a post-quantum encrypted cloud with their CRYSTAL suite.
