Good thinking merging both the path and direction into a single component instead of using a separate floating arrow to indicate direction.
You can go even further and remove the path itself; the arrows can do double duty as both indicators of presence of a path to destination, as well as indicators of the direction to proceed to the destination relative to the viewer’s current orientation.
You can see this design in “racing line” UI used in modern motorsport games.
