It's probably "similarly complex" but it's more complex at start because you won't have an OpenZiti overlay network already... So that's more complex for starters. Once you are familiar with OpenZiti it'll be easy. So there's an uphill swim for you since you're already familiar with SSH and firewall rules...
OpenZiti's big advantage here is that if those users pick up and move to starbucks, dunkin' or wherever - you don't need to whitelist an IP any more. it'll all "just work" because OpenZiti treats all networks as hostile/compromised following the zero trust networking principles. There's also a LOT of other stuff that OpenZiti will provide that is above and beyond SSH.
One other big factor is no open holes/firewall rules. That's a big benefit imo too.
So yes - there's a lot more flexibility with OpenZiti vs SSH/firewall rules. I don't want to just keep going on and on here (but i can :) )
