I know that we can brute force it by placing an obstacle at every valid position in the path, but is there a more elegant / efficient solution?

I mean, sure you can combine rectangles to make any path, but since there is no upper limit I don't think that will help much. You may be on to something and I just can't see it, though! Good luck!
