Yes, the phenomenon you refer to (i.e., where a language largely replaces its simple verbs with complex verbs) has been documented multiple times in Australian languages—sometimes clearly induced by contact and/or language attrition, and sometimes not so much.
I write about this very thing in my PhD thesis (Hamilton-Hollaway, 2024), where I study the grammatical effects that contact with Kriol and English has had on Mudburra (Ngumpin, Pama-Nyungan). Chapter 3 focuses on verbs. The whole thesis is available here:

At the beginning of that same chapter, I also provide a review of other studies of changes to verbal systems—some of which show this same phenomenon.</div>

<p>Yes, that is right: in some languages - Japanese, Korean -, the light-verb construction is a means to verbalize loans.</p>
