Can one date the shift from enemy to fiend to one event?
No. The historical dictionary gives a relative post-Christian chronology, while ONP and the poetic corpus show overlapping ordinary and supernatural uses rather than one recoverable coinage moment.

No. OED marks the literal enemy or foe sense obsolete and dates that sense through 1450, while supernatural and hostile-person senses continue.
resolvedestablishedposition text
Did every Germanic daughter develop a dominant demon sense?
No. Old Norse retains ordinary enemy and multiple supernatural branches, English foregrounds fiend, while German Feind and Swedish fiende remain ordinary enemy nouns.
