As the title says, I have my own instance of OpenVPN running in a vps (default settings). Is that "safe" enough for p2p? Any settings I should change? Anything I should watch out for? I guess it would show that the IP address of my vps will be going to these p2p sites and connecting to the IP address of whoever I'm transferring from, but how hard is it for the vps traffic to be traced back to me?

You are risking the other services you host on that VPS if you get a copyright complaint. It’s up to you, but considering VPN’s can be obtained for around $2 per month, I would imagine that the extra cost is lower than the liability.
