A VPN is only as secure as the endpoints. You have to figure cyber criminals are seeing countless opportunities. Breaking into the right insecure home network could get you into fortune 500 servers.
You’d have an easier time just social engineering people to get into servers than trying to actively break into a both the home network and the VPN.
I suggest you read up on Zero Trust. Corporate networks often aren't any more hardened than the average home router NAT device. VPN done right is no less secure on a home network because you control the endpoints you let connect. But the best plan is not using VPN at all, and instead authenticating the person and device on a per service basis.
