I'd say be careful with that! At a minimum, put the VPN in a separate VM, so nothing to Slack could get routed through it.

Agreed. I avoid using public sites like Facebook and Google+ while on it because of possible geolocation issues.

Slack was the exception because it's the tool people use when developing, so I somewhat blindly expected them to be alright with it. Especially since there are public answers to VPN issues on Twitter (https://twitter.com/slackhq/status/510137942296518657?lang=e...).
