Are you referring to smoothness=bad or a narrow width? (I'm guessing you've been using StreetComplete to specify each.)
Holy shit, I never found smoothness in the OSM editor. Does that actually effect routing priority?
That might be a game changer for making my local area much better on OSM.
I'm not sure which editor you refer to as "the OSM editor", but surely id has it, JOSM can specify it, and StreetComplete has numerous quests that are disabled by default for various reasons but can be enabled (with SCEE having even more).
As for routing priority, that depends on the routing profile used by the router; there are dozens of routing profiles among several routing providers, many of which probably don't use smoothness but could. OsmAnd can — it targets some smoothness values like unpaved.
