I quite like "cycleway=shoulder". It describes exactly what's going on: the cycling infrastructure at this point isn't a marked lane (cycleway=lane), nor a segregated lane (cycleway=track), it's a sealed road shoulder. Could you elaborate on your objections? The real complication arises when there are shoulders of varying quality that are assessed (by cyclists) as being more or less suitable for cycling - leading to issues of subjectivity. At least the situation you describe appears objective: the surface was intended for cycling on.
