Interesting proposal. I think it would be useful to also add to the proposal how we structure these hiking relations.
For example: 1) Do you put the individual ways of an alternative into the main relation, with each member way of this alternative route assigned role 'alternative'. (for example https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/9214075) 2) Or do you make a separate relation for the alternative, and add this relation to a super relation containing a main relation and the alternative relation. Then assign the member roles on relation level? (what Peter Elderson kind of does in this example: https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/9514645 collecting all variations, approaches and shortcuts in a super relation, but without assigning the roles) Or would both methods be accepted? Personally, I find method 2 a bit more practical for mapping.
