That's not a default that I feel enormously comfortable with. Whatever the
wiki might say, "bare" highway=path (no other tags) is often used for little
footpaths across city parks, sidewalks, and so on.

cycle.travel errs on the side of caution and therefore doesn't route along
highway=path unless there's an explicit access tag (or cycle route
relation).

Keeping bicycle=yes on bikes-allowed paths is useful information. If there's
no bicycle= tag, yes, it could mean "bike access is implied by a default
somewhere on the wiki" but it could also mean "this way is tagged
incompletely". Deleting the tags would remove information and make it harder
for routers to deliver real-world routing results. Please keep them.

cheers
Richard
