Would a VPN basically make even a warrant useless in obtaining browsing data from your ISP?

No, it just puts your VPN provider in the position your ISP was in assuming they both keep similar records.

Well in that case, I would be OK since the VPN I use (ProtonVPN) doesn't keep any logs.

Sure, until they get a government order compelling them to do so. Don't confuse something that is not done by choice with something that is not done because it is not possible.

most VPN will tell you they don't keep log, which is probably not true

Why would they? There is 0 incentive and are not legally required to from Switzerland law.

It depends on how well you use the VPN, and of course any who doesn't use a VPN is wildly acceptable.
