You VPN may have an option under settings called Split-Tunneling - Most well-established VPN providers will have this. This allows you to set the local subnet for your network, and it'll bypass the VPNs so that local connections are local. Check it out. Otherwise, what you propose works, yes, as long as you're okay with having that laptop as a single point of failure for your content. At least get an external drive and periodically backup to it as well, and have that drive elsewhere. Good enough starting point.
Thanks!
Yes! split-tunneling was the term I was looking for.
Good-enough is exactly what I'm going for, lol. I will get an SSD for backup.
