There were some researchers working on noise saying that entangling more qubits has exponential difficulty, it's easy to create quantum computer with couple of quibits that we're seeing now, but it will be impossible to use more. If that's the case, we're safe.

You're not wrong, but that is a fairly extreme fringe view. There is a strong consensus, based on very solid physics experiment and theory, that that is not the case.
