That is all I use at the moment, though sometimes putting bicycle=yes, foot=yes,motorcar=no ... when the point of the gate is filter certain types of traffic. There has also been some talk about showing whether the gate is normally open or closed. Certainly that would be useful for routing (club riders etc may want to avoid routes with closed gates), but to my mind difficult to implement as it is rather fuzzy. Locked or unlocked is another possibility, though unlikely to be an issue on a cycle route. And finally, one edge case. In Sweden, I've found lift gates that do not extend all the way across a road so that there is effectively no barrier to cyclists/pedestrians. I mark that by putting a short shared cycle track way around the gate.
