I don't think there's a clear line. If it has a name that suggests it
was once a normal street, it would probably be pedestrian. Is there
enough room that an emergency vehicle can use it?

I'd almost definitely call that a footway.

Perhaps it makes sense to have a correspondence
unclassified:pedestrian::service:footway. In other words, if you'd tag
it service (such as an alley) if it allowed cars, it would be footway,
but if you'd tag it unclassified/residential (or higher) it would be
pedestrian. And if it's too narrow for cars, it would be footway
(unless it was historically wider and still has the feel of a
street?).
