You can cover all your bases with them, albeit with index funds in some cases. Still, I would not recommend you invest only with Vanguard. Vanguard has closed all its top notch large growth funds. Rather than settle for their large growth index fund, I went with PRIMECAP Growth Fund, which is managed by the same team that runs Vanguard PRIMECAP and Vanguard PRIMECAP Core, both of which are closed. A bit more expensive but outstanding management. T. Rowe Price does a really good job on the stewardship side of the equation, and runs some excellent funds. A little more expensive than Vanguard, but a good company to help you fill out your portfolio where Vanguard is AWOL. And the Fairholme Fund is outstanding, and just the thing to spice up a Vanguard dominated portfolio. Keep your investments in these companies and you will be in good hands.
