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?

With a VPN there's no need to change the port. Unless you change all of your ssh ports to another set pretty across all of your hosts, you're just asking for a headache at scale.

I have a "prep script" that takes care of everything.

It takes less than 2 minutes to run on a fresh install and does all kind of fun things.
