Or should I not worry too much and just slap the VPN is a little overkill for an internal network, just use SSH as needed.

In a home environment, it's probably safe to combine the two, but a better method would be to forward just the ports you need to another machine. Note that in this environment, FTP connections from the outside world will have to be passive. - -- .''`.
