Maybe I’m over-thinking this, and it’s not as big a safety concern as I’m envisioning it to be. Would be interested to hear what cyclists have to say about their comfort and safety level when riding on the paths.

Just wear a helmet and practice defensive riding. Golf carts will pass you on blind corners and have no problems getting people out of their way to make that tee time. I can't count how many times I've witnessed close calls as well. Look just what happened with the poor fellow down your way. They'll never find the golf cart driver that hit him. No traceable means to identify him or the cart. I personally would not ride a bicycle on any of the multi modal paths.
