In the areas I am aware of, path is the standard way to map mixed mode ways regardless of context (urban or not).
I misremembered the phrasing slightly -- the actual text on the highway=path page is
For "urban paths" which are designated for "pedestrians only", it's better to use highway=footway.
This was added by Geow, an experienced and active German mapper, in 2015. Reading the actual text, I guess that recommendation doesn't have direct bearing on the question here, which is mixed-use paths not pedestrian-only paths. The image caption on highway=path used to say "semi-urban path" but this was removed last year by Geow (who left the helpful comment "Changed incorrect and misleading image caption. Note that "path" is not restricted to semi-urban and may be sign posted as well" -- now *that's* how you edit a wiki, my friends!) J
