Yeah, I think the way you express it now is appropriate: just
highway=cycleway, and railway=abandoned.

(I don't necessarily agree with your description that rail trail =
autobahn for bicycles. Often, around here at least, they're unpaved,
and usually intended  for tourism and recreation rather than
commuting, for instance.)

For the original question of how to tag a "rail with trail" (I've also
heard the term "railside trail"), is it not sufficient to simply map
the two ways separately? Example here:
