What does QuickMapServices plug into? Dnf installed QGIS, and
also mapnik, which I take to be relevant; but having had my share of
dependency hell back in the day, I'm reluctant to update anything except
via dnf. Is that going to make trouble?
It shouldn't. Plugins are fetched and I believe stored in your home directory under ~/.local/share/QGIS/QGIS3
There may be trouble already:

Its possibly a conflict with python installations. I've been down that road. Now when I install from pip/pip3 I use the --user option.

I obviously need to learn the difference between a trail and a
trace. Maybe it's in the matter I read yesterday; absent-mindedness,
alas!, gets worse with age.
Use the gpx trace along with imagery to add the trail in OSM. Once the trace is uploaded, it can be used as a background to add a line feature to OSM. Using the browser based editor, iD, select the line feature to add your trail. Tag the line as highway=path + a name= if its named. A gpx trace from a consumer grade device can easily be off by 3 meters - if not more. By using imagery along with the gpx the trail can easily be more accurate.
Good luck,
Clifford
