Is there an easy way to use the Whonix Tor instance from other VMs,
namely those assigned a different firewall VM?

I do have a couple of Tor Hidden Services which I'd like to access via
SSH from my work VM (using connect-proxy). I could of course run my own
Tor instance within the work VM, but thought why bother if a Tor
instance is already running elsewhere...

If I'm understanding your question correctly, you can simply change your
AppVM's NetVM to sys-whonix (instead of, e.g., sys-firewall). All traffic from
the AppVM will then be routed over Tor.
