is it a feature in all Germanic languages for unstressed e to

Cute. Moar?

It is a feature in the main dialects of Catalan too (with both unstressed e and a, in fact).

But I think it is quite generalised amongst Germanic languages, yeah.

We also share the terminal devoicing with some of them too, and an unusual number of monosyllabic words for a Romance language. So not much of a surprise.

That's backwards. We write ə as e in unstressed positions. But as a language learner, that may be true.
But keep in mind, not all languages pronounce word final "e"s at all. In some languages they are silent.

It's a part of the SAE sprachbund. (Standard Average European).
Many languages in Europe share certain features, many of which are rare, and often despite not being closely related. >>76213859 shows that, other language group share the same features.
One of the features, as you noticed, is a weakening of unstressed word final vowels, either into ə or nothing at all.
Note that not all Germanic languages are part of SAE either. Icelandic is mostly outside this sprachbund, and keeps its vowels in their original form.

It's a feature of Slovenian, too.

I don't know if English counts, but many words that would today have a schwa likely didn't in the past, and vice versa.
