That's nothing new, conceptually.

I would call that back to the Joggress, Gattai, DNA, Whatever mess but for that matter it'd be the first real time they introduce that as a mechanic in-game (though I could swear Death has triggered at least a single digivolution in-game before.) and it could actually play a role (seeing that in the setting the game has you raise your Digimon that will eventually die if for nothing else, of old age so that it will be reborn.) As means of Evolution? It'd probably just get tossed aside outside of game medium as it really serves more as a trigger feature (seemingly)

To talk about your example of Death-X Digimon, It could have multitude of explanations (If I didn't miss the concrete explanation) some around X-antibody collecting scrap data, other that it's because they were offspring of Death-Xmon (which would probably be explained to be metaphorical for the dying of Yggdrasil or digital world)

I won't delve much deeper as I've not got anything more concrete.
