There's a lot of research and practical work on quantum-proof cryptography which is already in use in some cryptocurrencies - 'just' need to hardfork and update it when it's ready for Bitcoin

No need for a hard fork. A soft fork like Taproot is doing this year would be sufficient.
What cryptocurrencies are currently using post-quantum cryptography?
Only one I'm aware of is QRL ("quantum-resistant ledger").
