ONLY if it is the case that the VPN and the TSIG security enclosure  
are both controlled by the same entity. Otherwise I definitely would  
use both. And, I am not a person that like doing what I call  
"inheriting" security from one layer in the protocol stack to another.

So yes, in some circumstances you can optimize, but in general most  
people have neither suspenders, nor belt... And I rather have both  
than none.
