For some users, that answer is yes.

I have a question about this. 

Assuming the entrance=trailhead + leisure=tourism model is used,  then as long 
as the path has the entrance=trailhead node named, then the mapping (for 
visually representing and naming the area of) the trailhead area using 
leisure=trailhead is fine, and can be named and rendered with an icon, but the 
area is not needed for the route relation.

if someone is getting walking directions, it will include the name of the 
trailhead and the fact that it is the entrance to the route, and be properly 
routed to the named entrance then along the trail.  

Someone is visually looking at the area, will see the area taken up by the 
trailhead (and the icons for the various amenities that leisure=trailhead 
encompasses), and see the rendered icon. 

If just tourism=trailhead is used on a node (because it is a named trailhead, 
but is tiny and has just a sign) then routing and visually rendering the icon 
would be handled correctly, right? 

seems similar to train stations and stop position for rail lines.
