Diavolo can even see through King Crimson's hand before going back to his body. To be honest nowadays I wouldn't count that as an example due to the heavy ambiguity of that scene.

Regarding the design, that arrow design isn't unique. Pucci had an arrow with the same exact design when he activated his stand and Weather's. And I'd say is almost impossible that's the same arrow, since Polnareff found his in Egypt and Pucci got that one from DIO.



Regarding that phrase, let's take the entire phrase to analyze it.

"The arrow draws out stands from those who have potential (referring to all arrows in general). But if it happens to pierce a Stand (also making a generalization)... I dont know how old that arrow is,but i think i can understand what the person who created it was thinking;there is more to the power of a stand,something that goes far deeper"

I acknowledge this is the only time someone refers only to "that arrow" instead of "the arrow" as the generalization above... but since that happens into the same paragraph it's probable Polnareff was generalizating as well.

Later Polnareff says "Then I realized if someone who had enough power were to use this arrow, they would have the power to control the minds of all living creatures". Perhaps this phrase would be one of the best evidences about the Requiem arrow if we join it with Black Sabbath's arrow not awakening Giorno's Requiem.

Yet even then all arrows are extremely rare,  there were only six arrows in all the world. Everyone of them being quite important given they could awaken stands as powerful as Heavy Weather or Bohemian Rhapsody for example. Losing a single arrow could be a total catastrophe.

Polnareff's objectives may have been more aligned about getting help to defeat Diavolo quickly instead of worrying about any other arrow. Mostly when Diavolo already had an arrow for himself.
