No boardwalks in my area, except MTBing, and they are much less intimidating on a MTB.
Most of the time they're fine, but you'll probably agree that you can't take them for granted when wet. Motorcyclists are even more paranoid about them than we are.
What makes leaves slick, IMO, is decaying matter between the leaves. That's why just one layer of leaves is no big deal, and it's leaves that have been there a day or few days that you really have to watch out for.
