No need for a TLS 1.4.

Leaf certificates don't last long, but root CAs do. An attacker can just mint new certs from a broken root key.

Hopefully many devices can be upgraded to PQ security with a firmware update. Worse than not receiving updates, is receiving malicious firmware updates, which you can't really prevent without upgrading to something safe first.
