tl;dr: ECDSA will break terribly, but we can use another pubkey algorithm if necessary, and all addresses with no spent coins should be safe since they're also protected by the hashes.
Except for unspent block rewards from early on in Bitcoin's life, which were all pay-to-pubkey and therefore not safe. There's actually quite a few of those from what I recall.
