All other things equal, 256-bit elliptical curve cryptography is going to break before RSA2048 does with quantum computing advances.

Do NOT switch to ECC if your threat model includes a quantum computer arriving.

Either use larger RSA keys or more appropriately a hybrid signature scheme combining one of NIST's PQC signatures and a traditional algorithm.
