Is OpenVPN a safer attack surface compared to OpenSSH?

Sure, especially when you VPN into a sacrificial subnet and need MFA to continue elsewhere into locked down application domains. OTOH I would leave ssh listening on a non-descript high port with MFA (key and OTP) enabled. No use worrying too much about that.

Is OpenSSH safer when used in addition to OpenVPN?

Probably.
