Verily, it is all very well for most of thy neighbours but if thou dost write an epistle on Shakespeare or if thou art a pastor using the King James Bible, thou hadst better get used to
red lines appearing as a mist underneath thy words!

I dare say anyone using Luther's German Bible has similar problems!

While OOo is generally fine, for my limited uses of thee and thou, what is the availability/ease-of-creation of specialist dictionaries for such purposes?

It's not particularly difficult, in fact, -- but you can do it yourself, and quite automatically, simply by having OOo learn each new word. That's how I dealt with my versions of Theobald's "Double Falshood" and Dunlap's "André".
