The ISP/VPN can only see that there's communication between one's device and the monero network (via remote node, in this case). They can see data is being sent, but not its contents.

Yeah, but they see the random encrypted data, but they do not have the keys to decrypt transaction data. Encryption is done via the protocol. SSL will hide the already encrypted data, making it harder to determine you're using monero. It's kind of like regular use. If I create a non-secure web page and put encrypted data on it, the ISP can see the page and also see that there's encrypted data on it, but they don't know the contents beyond that. Adding SSL to that, they don't know don't know anything beyond the IP address now.
