Nope, didn't forget about that.
My point was rather that in case the community decides the discussed
primary-tag distinction is favourable, it would be the least effort for
us is to keep highway=path for the vast majority of ways (12 million)
instead of changing them all to highway=easy_path (I don't see any
chance this big of a change will find acceptance).
But yes, you're totally right, it will still be a considerable task to
re-tag all the 2k via ferratas, 3k climbing routes and ~20k difficult hikes.
Luckily this not quite hundreds of thousands as you feared, but "just"
tens of thousands... :-)

How about this:
- keep highway=path for everything that can be walked by normal people (this
means we don't need to re-tag millions of ways)
- introduce a new tag highway=demanding path for everything else.
I think you forgot to mention we would need to re-tag the hundred of thousand
ways falling into your second bullet. That's normal, we tend to forget how
easily we manage competing tagging schemes ;-)
