My non-confident impression is that when fault tolerance is first achieved it will still be somewhat expensive to add qubits, so the size of the largest integers that are factorizable will grow roughly like “quantum Moore’s law”. Like maybe they double qubit count every year or two, and I think the length (in digits) of the largest factorizable integer will scale like that, modulo a root or square. I could be confused though.
