The only thing you gain from VPN is that the target server does not know your IP.
HTTPS is safe anyway and as such also the content of what you do.
The only other way you may leak information are DNS queries.
without encrypted client hello (which isn’t really adopted) the hostname ist submitted in plaintext, unencrypted. so the ISP can totally see which websites you‘re going to, even it you use a secure dns server
That should only happen with SNI, no?
