I'm hesitant to build anything load-bearing on AT Protocol given its PQ exposure: https://words.filippo.io/crqc-timeline/

How does this impact AT Protocol? I’m just hearing about AT now, so I’m not familiar
Today, not so much. But once the day is here where we have CRQC, if ATProto hasn't yet started using post-quantum cryptography for identities, users are either vulnerable or a bunch of stuff will break once they push a hotfix to make users not vulnerable.
Alternatively, they fix these things now, so once CRQC arrives, it's already not a problem, and no gets compromised nor have to urgently update their software.
I'm not sure it says much, but I met the person who wrote the post you linked to at ATmosphere this year. To me that says that maybe they're not as worried as you about ATProto's PQ exposure. I overheard lots of discussions about the topic, but I'm not an expert so I can't give much more insight than that.
They're aware of it.
