Except this analysis is outdated based on the Chronicle cosmology chart.
The opposite of the cosmic force "Holy" is "Shadow/Void" (nouns). The meaning of "unholy" (adjective) is unclear and is used inconsistently. There doesn't seem to be any such "Unholy" (noun) power. unholy (adjective) is just used by believers in the "Light" (noun) as anything not of the "Light".
"Undeath" (noun) also isn't a 'perversion' (this is just a subjective value judgement) its simply the corresponding "Death" (noun) counterpart to the opposing "Wild Gods" of "Life" (nouns).
I'd take Night Elf and Orc paladins first, please. Lightforged Undead Paladins might be a thing if that rumor ends up being true. Undead druid have a good argument now thanks to the Drust.
Forsaken Druids I don't see happening til we get Human Druids (and I mean the Stormwind variety of humans), which I don't see happening til they finally say fuck it every race can be every class (which they honestly should have done by now).
Paladin; there's honestly no reason we shouldn't have Forsaken Paladins by now. Even though Paladins are all about banishing the Undead, Forsaken are a special form of Undead that isn't quite the same. As such, they aren't even classified as an "Undead" enemy and aren't affected by Paladins'/other class bonuses against Undead as such.
So uh, yeah. Forsaken Paladins. I'm all for it... Especially when they can be Priests anyways.

Instead of Orc, make it Forsaken IMO.
Save Orc Paladin for the day we get (Stormwindian) Human Shamans.
... Y'know if we ever get a Cata-style Class/Race combinations update. In a, so far, classless and raceless expansion, it's the perfect time to do just that.
Still wondering why I play this game.
I'm a Rogue and I also made a spreadsheet for the Order Hall that is updated for BfA.
The lore is shit if it assumes all members of a given race can or cannot do something.

Some classes are locked specifically because they're supposed to be rare, but would be extremely popular as players, like Undead Paladin and Draenei Warlock. I feel like the solution is to add them as unlockables like the allied races. Complete that quest in Legion where the Night Elf becomes a Paladin and then you can play as a Night Elf Paladin. So they're still rare, they don't deserve an entire subfaction like the Sunwalkers, but they exist, y'know?

There's a Night Elf Paladin follower in Legion.
Calia is a priest. But i do think a forsaken paladin is possible.

They use holy spells, but it doesnt matter, undead paladins is lore friendly

It would be a order of martyrs, it fits with the forsaken theme and the fact they have to endure pain would make their will stronger and thus their light powers stronger.

Not all forsaken or undead are evil... Most arent.
That's technically what the Deathknights we play as are - undead Paladins.
It's reflected in their spells "Death and Decay" is a death version of Consecration. Rise Ally is a death version of "Redemption" etc.

Gnome Druids.
If we have Gnome Priests, we should have Gnome Druids.
Think of the cute little animals. ;_;
Because this game still has some lore the writers didn't take a huge dump on yet. And when they do it again, we have people like you to thank for it.
