I understand what you mean, but I think such a concept or definition would be highly misleading: "having no known quantum attack" means every novel encryption method would be automatically "quantum resistant" for having had 0 adversarial attempts to find quantum or even classical weaknesses!

There should be some measure of competence-level-adjusted man-hours of cryptographers and mathematicians trying to swing their favorite hammers at the problem; in order to estimate this "quantum resilience".

In minutes, on a single computer, for example, is the lowest bar.
