It's not likely to take off.

Do you want pre-shared secrets and the expense of a quantum network to, in theory, have infinite security (in theory!), or are you okay with tried and tested RSA which gives you >1000000000 years security at a much cheaper cost, that actually works in practice?

Well not RSA, that will be broken by quantum computers. But there are some classical encryption methods that quantum computers are not known to break.
