I see there are three main sides in this, those who would

Some of you agree, with the present definitions ... well, it is a mess that
should be fixed sooner than later.
So do you have any functional suggestions or enhancements to my proposition
in the OP for a proper classification criteria between footway and path?

afraid that this is a continuum more than a yes/no sort of thing.
To characterize a path/footway extensively we have - beside surface, width,
incline, smoothness ...

A footway opend to bicycles is a multi-use-path and should be distinguished

The mess as you described it, was partly caused by mixing physical tags and
assumed access-restrictions in these traditional keys.
