The demons do appear during the Records Of Time section of Bayonetta 2, where Bayonetta is participating in fighting against Witch Hunts with Rosa. Whilst the scene isn't strictly canon and is mostly used as a teaser of what sort of craziness the game is going to include, it does show demons fighting alongisde the bigger angels, particularly Insidious.

For the Witch Hunts, it's also important to remember that the Witches had become very battle weary thanks to the Clan Wars. From that, it can be assumed that they did not have the strength to call the demons to their side to aid in their fighting, especially since demonic summoning can turn against the summoner if the Witch in question is not strong enough to control it (as shown in the manual for the original Bayonetta).
