That edit on the wiki seems good to me. grade1 can still be something 
other than paved, but not usually.

Personally, grade1 implies paved for me mapping in a temperate climate, 
but I can imagine that you can get to grade1 without a paved surface in 
arid climates. The wiki definition leaves room for this by prefacing it 
with 'Usually'.

My only nuance here would be that badly paved tracks can fall into 
grade2 as well.
