Ah, I see! I'm not sure if OSM data can have that information, but it would be great! Some kind of bushwhack out of 10 rating?

OSM does have that data, and I've noticed that mapy.cz takes it into account. There are sac_scale [1] and smoothness keys [2]

1. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:sac_scale

2. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:smoothness

sac seems a little too broad to me; most trails would be level 2 or below, without communicating much more than a simple elevation profile already gives you.
