If a player wanted to play an Oathbreaker would you consider the Reaper himself to be an appropriate deity for them to serve? Like a kind of Ghost Rider who hunts those who have escaped the next worlds
I understand the intent behind oath breaker is that you broke your vows. There is no promise of duty, honour or to reap those who's time has come. The oath is a very important part of the pally class for both RP and balance reasons. if your pally wishes to serve death I would suggest either reskinning an oath, (example) or creating a set of vows to be used with the oath breaker rule set, to be sworn to the reaper himself or something else appropriate.
example
oath of devotion's sacred weapon is a floating scythe that guides the paladin to successful attacks with an eerie glow and a swing that seems like an harbinger for what's to come for the pally's enemies. Or some such flavour text.

Sure. Paladins are not bound to deities in 5e, so it doesn't matter what God they worship.
