To mitigate the effort to maintain my personal server, I am considering to only expose ssh port to the outside and use its socks proxy to reach other services. is Portknocking enough to reduce surface of attack to the minimum?

    • you also need to know the correct username

    Use a secure password or key. Security by obscurity is no security.

    • audits and logging shows which user used sudo to gain root access

    That is not the point that was made. Once access to sudo or root you already have lost.
