I am thinking of loosing the grass paths between the raised beds and either

The grass is ok but high maintenance '

I'd keep the grass unless you're prepared to concrete or pave. Weeding
through other materials will be even more time consuming and tedious. And
weeds - and the grass - will grow through gravel or wood chips.
