I don't have a strong opinion on that, but this doesn't sound like an unreasonable thing to worry about. Maybe 20 years ago it seemed like some sci-fi stuff and nobody really thought about it. But then, let's be honest, nobody really thought about e2e encryption back then either. Now this stuff may be not truly an impending disaster yet, but, actually, not so far from it either. Not a big "no-no" yet, but definitely something to be thinking about. And, honestly, I do actually feel uneasy about trusting any secrets with 50+ years expiration date to some integer factorization crypto. Maybe there won't be any practical possibilities to break that in the next 50 years, maybe there will, who knows: but it simply isn't so outrageous of an idea anymore to bet against it. And that's kind of the purpose of cryptography: exaggerating even slightly outrageous possibilities.
