If you want to be technical, playable warlocks don't make sense period, given the usual logic that goes for playable races. But the Abbey of Northshire just accepts them regardless for example.
They only make sense for the Undead, maybe Gnomes, if you follow the logic of "every class/race combination needs to make sense as an adventurer just starting out in X starting zone".
I would absolutely LOVE for warlocks to be slightly the odd ones out in their factions -- you start level 1 in a different place (a creepy basement ritual in the capital before you run to the regular starting area maybe lol) and your demons are attacked on sight (or chased off) by friendly city guards.
Would be a giggle if everytime you walked to town the guards would run off your imp without realizing you were the master. "Sir, look out! There's an imp behind you! I'll handle this!"
I'm sure there would be lots of glitches and potential for abuse and weirdness (getting a demon in an inaccessible spot to constantly aggro guards for example) but it would be so #flavorful....
