Changing the tags because you don't like the rendering is not the right
approach. It would be better to lobby for a change of rendering, or use a
different renderer.
Since everything from a sidewalk, a concrete path, a well worn dirt path
through the grass around a park, a rough trail through the desert, and a trail
up the side of Mt Fuji all have the same vague, meaningless highway=path tag -
there is no differentiation possible, so there is no rendering differentiation
possible. In any renderer.
OSMAnd is capable of rendering the surface tag! So set your 'hiking path' to
unpaved (or dirt/sand etc) ... and it can be rendered.
highway=path has always been someone's bandaid.
I would rebel against path and use footway=hiking! I would be for the removal
of highway=path.
