I do a lot of validation and in my opinion each settlement should have at least one highway that connects to the outside world. That way its routable. I might not draw in every path or track and small tracks leading only to fields or the river don't really add a lot of value.
When traveling to a settlement beyond the larger settlement you've drawn in people will pass through the village and the path they follow ie between huts should be mapped. Most traffic will be foot, donkey or motorcycle so a highway=path is acceptable.
