I think that a decent modern VPN solution is much simpler than OpenSSH
and especially when your alternative is recompiling OpenSSH to remove
dependencies that you think you don't need.

I am pretty confident that the amount of code that can be reached by
strange packets from the Internet side is going to be a lot smaller with
WireGuard.

It's going to be quite difficult to prove either way though, so let's
just agree to disagree.
