[Tagging] Can highway=cycleway be limited to MTB?

No.
If the MTB path is not open to pedestrians, you add foot=no, and possibly
horse=no, in addition to your mtb:scale tags

Sure, you could say if you have a cycleway with smoothness=horrible and
tracktype=grade5 and foot=no and horse=no  you have the same thing, but
ther,

Please keep paths that can only be used by MTB clearly different from
>> cycleways that can be used non-MTB bicycles.

Yes, the mtb: tags would in theory be able to convert als a cycleway in an
MTB track - see above, but it is much simpler to keep the meaning that a
cycleway is a cycleway and implies that you can use it with a normal
bicycle.
