The position we take at my site is summarized thus:

If you can't trust your users, you can't trust your users. Reducing
your VPN's functionality won't stop them from stealing trade secrets if
they're sufficiently inclined to go that route -- they can do that even
without a VPN if they really want to -- but it *will* interfere with their
ability to conveniently get work done remotely, which is the whole point.

We restrict VPN access to folks who have a good reason to have it --
part-time contractors are out, for instance -- and are extremely quick on
the draw to revoke the certificates (and Kerberos principals) of outgoing
personnel. Beyond that, we risk buying a false sense of security -- and
paying for it with lost employee productivity.
