I’ve been having a interesting question float around in my thoughts for weeks and can seem to come up with a definative answer. Which dragons and or which dragonflight that is currently part of the wyrmrest accord and also the ones that aren’t would be most likely to get along or make friends with a death knight. Most specifically a death knight of the Ebon Blade.
There are only 5 ‘‘official’’ Dragonflights, those elevated by the Titans — the red, bronze, blue, green, and black flights — and the Wyrmrest Accord was all sans blue.
Considering how Red and Green are all about Life and stuff (being both empowered by Eonar through Freya) they are probably the last ones on the list.
Blue dragons are all about preserving the Arcane, Necromancy and by extent Death magic don’t really relate well to it. They might find an affinity in Frost magic, but that’s about it. Much like how Fire Mages and Destruction Warlocks have so much in common but you’d probably never find them working together.
Bronzes are the most pragmatic here, I suppose if the Death Knight helps preserve the timeline or even joins the Timewalkers they might earn their trust, but so far we’ve not seen any Death Knight in the Timewalkers (mostly scholars, mages, or straight up warriors)
The Black Dragonflight is tricky as well, they’re supposed to be protectors of the Earth, I am pretty sure blighted and decaying earth wouldn’t be to their liking, and considering the story that they have with reanimation, that also doesn’t help.
Outside of the Dragonflights, I suppose lesser broods would have less of a problem, but still, remember that Death Knights are not only Undead but also command powers shunned upon by others, so they will really have a lot of issues when it comes to connecting with people (also the Endless Hunger) .
Overall, my consensus would be, in a scale of 1 to 10, most dragons would be in a 2-3 in wanting to be friends with a DK, with most cases being the exception, not the rule.

Looking back I find it so odd that a black dragon was in the accord at all. All but 2 if them were corrupted.
And seeing how quite a few of them, most notably Sindragosa, were raised into frost wyrms I doubt the Blue’s role would want anything to do with the Ebon Blade either.
I’m not sure about the Bronze or 2 remaining Blacks but I don’t see most dragons willingly partnering with a Death Knight.
