in theory, if ever the fantascentific novel about quantum computers will happen, segwit and taproot addresses would be vulnerable when users put a tx on mempool, cause it could offer an attacker enough material to compute and reverse the private keys, and double spend first than the original tx is confirmed.
Also, if someone would arrive to have a computational monster like that, mining is probably a more easy attack on bitcoin, and 51%-classes attacks are most likely to happen first.
