I don't know about the safety of the encryption's quantum resistance. But I do know that those in control of the blockchain will stop the chain, and even revert to an older state, provided that an illegal change is implemented. They will even update the code to lock out addresses that have altered their rewards. These things have happen before in the past, and hot fixes were rushed out to isolate these wrongfully allocated funds.
Now as for your personal system getting hacked, and your keys getting stolen.... You're on your own on that.
I think you are confusing SHA and AES. SHA is just the hash. Think of SHA as the "packing slip" detailing what the AES encrypted package SHOULD contain, lest it prove the packages container is unreliable in one way or another.
AES256 is the standard of the day, but most InfoSec peeps are convinced the NSA, at a minimum, has the ability to open it.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure?
Why wear your seatbelt if you drive carefully?
Moore's law means that eventually quantum will happen, so why not "always be prepared" as the Boy Scouts say?

You shouldn't be on your own like that. Satoshi wouldn't have let that be.
