Thanks for the tips. It would be 5 nights but only 4 full days on the Amalfi Coast, as the bookends would be travel days.
Still too much time?
We're pretty active travelers, but, as this is our honey moon, I want to have a lot of relaxing time as well.
We definitely want to hike the Path of the Gods, probably take a boat excursion one day (Capri or elsewhere), and then have 2 days to lounge around/get over to another town on the coast (Positano, Amalfi, Ravello).

Your situation is very similar to mine. I went in thinking Positano would be my "chill" time (and it was), but Sienna and Florence were both very laid back spots. Rome had some hustle and bustle only because we walked a lot and it's a huge city. Still, I agree with the above, chop a little off the coast and add a day or two in Rome
We flew into Florence stayed 4 nights, train to Sienna stayed 3 nights, trained back to Florence then to Naples, private car from Naples to Positano where we stayed 3 nights, private car back to Naples, then train to Rome for 2 night, fly out of Rome back home

No, not too much time if you truly plan to hike and take some side trips. Have you booked hotels yet? Ravello has an elevated position, and while everyone raves about Le Sirenuse, I think the Villa Cimbrone might be more charming--it's set in the middle of extensive gardens. LINK And TripAdvisor on Villa Cimbrone: LINK I visited the Gardens at the tail end of winter a few years ago, and it was still incredibly beautiful. I can only imagine how lovely it will be in early fall when most things are still lush.
I'd probably trade out a trip to Herculaneum or Pompeii over a boat ride to Capri (it's lovely, but looks & feels much like the Amalfi coast towns), though YMMV depending on interests. Or have a driver take you down to Paestum to see the Greek temples and eat mozzarella di bufala.
