How much do you secure a home server that's only accessible with VPN? (programming.dev)

I have a VPS that I secure as much as possible since the IP is public, but does a wireguard-access-only homelab warrant the same efforts? Those with homelabs like this, what do you do?

It is going to make fingerprinting more annoying while evading default port scans. That isnt nothing but you do you boo
