So does BTC need to hard fork? Good luck getting to a consensus again ...

If QC gets to the point where breaking RSA and ECC in the real world is actually going to happen, I'd imagine you will find a consensus rather quickly.

If an upgrade becomes necessary, it would be a soft fork. (Consensus would still be a challenge)
