I think using leisure=track for a mountain bike path is even more misleading than highway=cycleway.
A feature with leisure=track is usually an oval racing track for runners, track cyclists, or similar sports. This tag is simply not used for mountain bike paths; http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/Sjk - only 89 ways (including loops, like mtb pump tracks) By contrast, highway=cycleway + mtb=designated has been used 558 times: http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/Sjl Clearly many mappers consider highway=cycleway an appropriate tag for a designated mountain bike path. However, it's true that highway=path is used more commonly with mtb=yes and mtb=designated: http://overpass-turbo.eu/s/Sjo - over 13,000 occurences. Unfortuately only a little over half of those ways have a surface=* tag - adding those tags would be more productive than arguing about whether to use highway=cycleway or highway=path.
