That's indeed the problem: Its hard to figure a default options for
such functionality.

Instead of overloading `vc-find-file-hook' you could use something
like this:

(defun dmj/disable-vc-for-agenda-files-hook ()
  "Disable vc-mode for Org agenda files."
  (if (and (fboundp 'org-agenda-file-p)
           (org-agenda-file-p (buffer-file-name)))
      (remove-hook 'find-file-hook 'vc-find-file-hook)
    (add-hook 'find-file-hook 'vc-find-file-hook)))

(add-hook 'find-file-hook 'dmj/disable-vc-for-agenda-files-hook)

It removes vc-find-file-hook from the list of find-file-hooks when the
file is question is an agenda file.
