In my village, I noticed that if I replace my dirt paths with wood plank paths, the villagers seem to prefer that as the path and go back to normal – they sleep in their beds, they work at their job blocks, they gather during mid-day meeting, and when they walk, it's usually on that wooden path.
So for me at least, this was the workaround for my village base. Otherwise, if all homes are connected by a dirt path, they seem to go out of their way to avoid it, and then can't seek a path to their beds or job blocks.
