"an armchair mapper should add access=unknown to the tagging" I certainly don't do this when mapping from aerial imagery, and neither of the editors that I've used (ID and JOSM) have suggest adding "access=unknown" to a newly mapped path.
My understanding is that highway=path is rather problematic if there are no additional tags, because it's not clear if all paths are open to bicycles or horses. See https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Path_controversy And https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway%3Dpath says: "highway=path is a generic path, either multi-use or unspecified usage, open to all non-motorized vehicles and not intended for motorized vehicles unless tagged so separately. The path may have any type of surface." "This includes walking and hiking trails, bike trails and paths, horse and stock trails, mountain bike trails as well as combinations of the above." "This tag is used for paths for which all and any of highway=footway, highway=cycleway and highway=bridleway would be inappropriate or inadequate (or simply not sufficient), but which are nonetheless usable for travel or navigation. They might be not intended for any particular use, or intended for several different uses. Intended uses can be indicated with the various access keys; e.g., bicycle=designated and foot=designated."
