It's irrelevant to study the amount of displacement. The important fact
is that what ever energy is produced came from a person's expenditure!
I think, other than for a novel experience, most people would abhor
trudging around on energy sucking pavement.

Yes, I agree with pavement the deformation is elastic so no net energy
transfer. I don't think you need larger displacement though. The
electromagnetic force is very strong so you can get significant energy
from
small displacement. But of course how much will depend on the actual
mechanism the pavegen uses.
