The thing that puts RSA-2048 in reach of attackers is going to eliminate RSA altogether.

Fair point, but if I were to use RSA (sure, better avoiding it at all), I'd still go into a 4096 bits key, hoping to outsurvive the algorithm long enough for a safe migration.
Anyway, I don't get your (as in most security experts) aversion to long keys and multiple algorithms. As an engineer, I see cryptography taking a very small amount of the resources, but holding a huge share of the risk of any security application. My guts are always pointing into moving more resources into crypto.
