He's not even correct about what the OED says.

The OED, second edition, has two enties for 'fun': noun and verb.
Show me otherwise.

Go back and read it again. I have the compact edition (1989) and it
takes some trouble to get it out. You have to use the magnifying glass

I checked it before writing the above post and it clearly shows the
attributive or adjectival use with citations dating back to 1846.

So does MWCD10.
