Does anyone use OSSEC on their personal workstation or personal server? I have some MacOS machines with public IP addresses with ssh access enabled, and I'm wondering if I should use something like this. Presently I have the MacOS firewall configured but that's it.

It's not needed, IMO, if you disable password auth and only allow ssh from white listed IPs. This has eliminated ssh login attempts for me.
