I don't think so. It was the home of a Senior Council member who happened to be the WC Vampire expert. There were other wizards there. Makes it a good enough target in itself.

It would be nice to have a Dirty Dozen, wizard style, mission that involves Harry and many other of the Council's more troublesome wizards.

I was always under the impression that the vast majority of White Council wizards towed the line pretty well, and that Harry was very much an outlier.
Which opens a more interesting possibility -- a Dirty Dozen, wizard style mission that involves Harry and suspected warlocks.

I wonder how many potential or accused magic users are out there, deemed to be warlocks. Imagine if the council offers sometching like a pardon if they agree to aid the wardens in the conflict.

I'm sure that's true, to a large extent. The other outliers, though, would probably be the very people who either eventually end up on the Senior Council...or dead. JB has implied that Arthur, Eb, and Injun Joe were just as wild as Harry in their misspent youth, around the time of the French and Indian War.
Also, have you noticed that a lot of Wizards with 'questionable' talents end up as Wardens? Harry is one example. Steed is another. Steed is a chronomancer whose time talents are very useful to the Council, but also press close against the Fifth Law. So they made him a Warden where he could be useful and at the same time the other Wardens could keep a close eye on him. I'd hazard a suspicion that a lot of Wizards with 'borderline' powers, in Law terms, end up as Wardens.
One of the possibilities Harry saw in Molly's soulgaze was Molly as a Warden. Molly has borderline talents in mind magic and mental manipulation, so she's both a possible source of trouble and a good candidate for recruitment as a Warden.
I'll bet we'd find a whole bunch of Wizards with 'edgy' powers if we went through the ranks of the Wardens and the Senior Council.
