Usually gravel is used, but compacted sand should also be sufficient to support footpaths, and water can also drain well. The loads are not very high, we are talking about a person with luggage at maybe 100 kilos, and that's distributed over the area of the slab. If it has lasted for many years without frost damage, then I wouldn't excavate everything. The prerequisite would be that the new slabs fit the sand base in size.
For a new installation, I wouldn't cut corners. But if everything is already there, I find that excessive for a footpath.
