This is not about whether we're ready to standardize on a PQC at this point. We’re all in agreement that we haven't settled yet on any specific PQC.

This is about whether it's wise to standardize at this point a new non-PQ-resistant crypto. Some, myself included, think it's a bad idea, given the inevitable lag between standardization and deployment, and the (as some of us believe) inevitable need to abolish it.
