Update: found an article where the term is used by an interdisciplinary group of researchers working on a 'Clean Slate' redesign proposal for the Internet back in 2007: https://www.networkworld.com/article/2354612/researchers-aim-to-revamp--ossified--internet.html
"We've known for a while that the Internet has ossified as a result of the race to optimize existing applications or enhance security"
-- this paper from 2011 is the earliest academic reference I can find to Internet protocol ossification https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/2068816.2068834
