Just for the record, you can enable root logins but disallow password
logins, so root has to be done with a public/private key-pair.

That said, I do as you describe and still SSH to my ssh-user account,
then "su" to root as needed from there.  But at least there's a
middle ground that isn't as vulnerable as putting a root account out
there to be banged on by any script-o-matic bot that finds it.

I also like to change my external SSH port to something
non-traditional (and have configured port-knocking in the past) to
prevent the obvious pokes I would otherwise see in my sshd/auth/access
logs.
