What is a safe way to run restorecon on /home? Should I su to each
user and do their home directory separately from all others?
The real question is why do you need to do it? If the labels are set up
properly on installation and when the user's account is first created,
then you shouldn't need to do it subsequently, and the user can run
restorecon themselves on their own home directory if they encounter
issues. su has its own issues irrespective of SELinux; never su to an
untrusted account.
