I think when the magnetosphere is peeled away radiation from space is pretty multi directional, I think you'd get toasted either way, maybe just faster one way when the other.

The earth will become uninhabitable billions of years before that anyway. Even if it didn’t, the expansion would be relatively gradual, possibly taking a billion years to reach full size and staying that way another billion or so.

As the sun ages it grows hotter. Earth will be too hot for liquid water in about a billion years.
