An apparatus in an illustrative embodiment comprises at least one processing device configured to establish a first number of paths to a logical storage volume, stored across multiple storage nodes of a distributed storage system, in a first layer of a software stack of the at least one processing device, and to present a second number of paths to the logical storage volume from the first layer of the software stack to at least one overlying layer of the software stack, the second number of paths being less than the first number of paths. The at least one processing device is further configured to receive input-output operations from the at least one overlying layer of the software stack for delivery to the storage nodes, and to select in the first layer a plurality of paths within the first number of paths to deliver the input-output operations to the storage nodes.
