Does anyone know where to get any reference materials towards how Nasuverse demons behave, how they're handled, and such? There's passing mentions in Ataraxia, but I can't recall much from anywhere else (does DDD count? I don't think it does)

Depends on what you mean by demons, since there are a variety. DDD does count. You've also got, uh, Tsuki and KT, for the natural kind, and Character Material and Plus Period for Merem and some of what the Burial Agency and people like Caren do to counter them.

Hmm, I'll just have to go on an adventure to find character material and plus period then.

Just go to mcjon's translation thread?
Ragnarok, come day of wrath

O piteous Wanderer.
A quick search through the McDoc for "demon" brings up more instances of "demonstrate", then "demon hunter/hybrids", and then using demon or demonic to describe things (usually DAAs or NPs), but very little about actual demons, other than they're demonic.
Linger: Complete. August, 1995. I met him. A branch off Part 3. Mikiya keeps his promise to meet Azaka, and meets again with that mysterious girl he once found in the rain.
Shinkai: Set in the Edo period. DHO-centric. As mysterious figures gather in the city, a young woman unearths the dark secrets of the Asakami family.
The Dollkeeper: A Fate side-story. The memoirs of the last tuner of the Einzberns. A record of the end of a family.
Overcount 2030: Extra x Notes. A girl with no memories is found by a nameless soldier, and wakes up to a world of war.
Why wouldn't you just search "demon "?
Edit: Oh it doesn't work, that's why.

Because it give the same results as "demon". Though that might be due to the pdf thing I'm using.

Yeah, I tried it afterward. Weird, that usually works.
But the truth is that Nasu just won't talk much about demons, unless you count DDD I guess. There's this bit in Extra materials:
True Demon [Circumstances]
Even in the Extra world, the concept of the demon is treated as the greatest obstacle to mankind.
If God is all-knowing and all-powerful, the demon is a being of human knowledge and powerlessness.
It is the reachable but utterly incomprehensible abyss.
In stay night, the only demons are fakes, and the real deal, the incarnated demon is considered to be unmatchable by human beings.
(There's only one record of an incarnated demon being dispelled, but that's another story).
A demon is said to possess the human soul, and it will try to incarnate in the human body, but usually the mind of the human it is growing from is unable to take it and it ends up destroying itself while spreading its power in its surroundings.
Among these, there are people who of their own doing cease being human and end up being categorized as demons, but this is called demonization so they are not True Demons.
Whether it's possession or transformation of one's doing, there has yet to be one successful case of a phenomenon that has created a True Demon as of 2030.
The names demons, demonic incarnation are used but they are no different than higher dimensional beings from a different civilization, different planet.
After all, they've ceased being "people" in our perceived universe.
Their nature is close to the evil gods of a certain fictional mythology popular in the 20th century.

It's not a passing mention they go into quite a bit of detail in the last two Caren scenes. As well as the stair scene.
My God, do you even fhtagn?
If I'm an unknown being, then the way I can change is unknown, too…
So all I have to do… is make them not-unknown.

To be fair, limiting one's exposure to the Old Ones is the best way to avoid pulling out a gun and blowing your own brains out.
Or becoming Urobuchi.

You say that as if it's a bad thing.
