i want to remotely ssh to my home server, and I was wondering if I could just forward port 22 with disabling password login and use pubkey authentication will be safe enough?

No. Just VPN in and SSH in.

How is a VPN service more secure than an SSH service?

Both accept login.

Both provide can be brute forced / if using password.

WireGuard uses UDP and will not respond if the attacker doesn't have the correct key. So the port used by WG will appears as a closed port.
