That should come up nicely. I’d probably use wood chip mulch instead of actual pavers for the paths, then you can just keep adding more over time as they break down to refresh it. I’d also be a bit worried about pavers getting slippery.

I think it is much better not to have a lawn for most purposes, it is a lot of upkeep for an area most people don’t actually use. Garden beds with ground covers or native grasses generally look great, are less maintenance and if done right provide great habitat for birds and small animals.
