Not all compromised machines are the same. Is the user of the machine an insider threat or not? Does the login user have admin rights to the machine or not? And what you said in the last sentence is exactly how some VPN solutions can be configured: Limited access to network resources for updates and management, and only when fully matching version/anti-malware/etc. requirements can you connect to all resources.

Anyway. Like I said, I think Wireguard is amazing - I used PiVPN (which can be installed on any .deb distro) to set up a simple gateway for my laptop and phone to be always connected for DNS and local-network access. I'm very grateful for its architecture and simplicity in that regard.
