This got raised on the tagging list recently:

Personally, I would say that any infrastructure, even if it's just a
dropped kerb, qualifies as a crossing. In the rare case where there's
reason to connect sidewalks across a road where there is zero
infrastructure (not even a dropped kerb) I'd use footway=link.
