Using wireless for active directory connection
I would never hang a mission critical server off the end of a wireless connection. Reasons would include interference which can cause potential packet loss or latency or worse, security is an obvious issue. Personally I would move the server into the server room.

Most modern VPN systems will transmit credentials in a secured fashion. That is part of the session negotiation. I think you are more at risk of using a compromised system (e.g. password stealing trojan, keylogger).
