Wie schwierig ist es für norwegische Muttersprachler (oder Sprecher einer anderen germanischen Sprache), die japanische Satzstruktur zu verstehen, die SOV ist, während NO, DK, SK, DE oder EN mit SVO übereinstimmen?

Not at all for me. It sounds awkward, but not wrong. Also, Germans already do something similar by wrapping their sentences in verbs. Like: Roger has a book bought.
Speak like yoda you do. Not difficult it is. 😀
So „Carl, herr (mann) på lørdag i butikken bladet kjøpte? Yikes! Will foreigners ever get fluid in this, and will the Japanese still understand if you mess up the structure?
Kore wa hontou ni kantan desu.
Had some Japanese, and the „base grammar“ was super easy in my opinion; I already had German in school which has a SOV / OSV structure, so maybe that made it easier, but I doubt it.
The main job is „preparing your ears“ for a different structure, which is more like learning a song, you quickly get into it. The order of verbs and nouns aren’t that critical. Fixes the rest the brain.
Fun fact: People with Brocas Aphasia (a type of brain damage) generally can not do this switch that easily. Sentences like „Tom was punched by Eric“ can easily be misunderstood as „Tom punched Eric“. I’m not sure if that is because they default to SVO, or if they just have a blurred overview of the order of words and ignore the context.
The word order is probably the least issue I would have, if I was to learn Japanese.
