First of all, thanks for the thoughtful comment and link.
You're right that rotating every crypto algo to PQC right away might be a bit too aggressive. The actual best practice (like you said) is hybrid: layer ML-KEM/ML-DSA on top of RSA/ECC for redundancy.
Classical algos aren't dead yet, but Shor's clock is ticking, and for now those NIST-standardized (FIPS203 for ML-KEM, FIPS204 for ML-DSA) PQC algos didn't break for now.
That's why Cloudflare for example uses ML-KEM alongside X25519 for their TLS key exchange (https://cyberpress.org/cloudflare-enhances-security/ https://cyberpress.org/cloudflare-enhances-security/).
And yeah.. presenting a single algo as the perfect solution. That gives Dual_EC vibes, perfect spot for a backdoor.
