We have nothing that would survive a quantum computer. RSA is even better than ECC, because it uses longer keys.
But we are very far from a usable quantum computer. I doubt we'll get it in 15 years, and I doubt we'll get it before everything changes because of AI, nanotech, some other disruptive tech, or some kind of doom.
Yes, there is nothing stopping you from using ECC with a 2k bits key. Except that you aren't.
