Ctrl+L works on Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Windows Explorer FYI

I just mean it's a seemingly ubiquitous hotkey so you may find it useful to memorize it

Right, and I mean there's no way to discover that hotkey if you don't already know it, which is why requiring it for a common UI function is bad design.

So how do you get the path field in the Gnome file dialog without ctrl-L?

Pretty sure it's a setting in gnome-tweaks. If it's not, it's not any harder than MacOS at least.
