The post-quantum algorithms haven't been around very long and as a result don't have the same level of confidence. Most post-quantum implementations that are in or nearing production use both existing methods (e.g. DH) and a post-quantum counterpart (e.g. New Hope) and combine them in a way that requires both to fail for there to be an issue (e.g. XORing the produced secrets together).
