"Established" - this particular key not really, it is used only 40 times 
up to now.
But it's just the combination of the access tag "foot" with the ":lanes" 
Suffix. Both are well used and documented. This combination is not used 
often, because it is rare to have to mention access right by pedestrians 
explicitly for a lane.

In a broader sense it is as "established" as the other lane-based access 
tags psv:lanes, bicycle:lanes and so on, with a total count of about 
100k tags (plus another million of tags using ":lanes" in combination 
with turn or destination).

No, not really. It's a way to tag such a lane without using a 'sidewalk' 
tag. It's similar to the difference between lanes:bus and bus:lanes or 
cycleway and bicycle:lanes. The first describes the existence of such a 
lane, the second also describes the exact position and further details.
