Valence brought up some good points. Yes, surely every civilization has unrest and corruption, and of course there are going to be people who fight against that, but the problem I'm seeing is... why would that manifest itself in the form of dark knights? Why is that inevitable, or even likely? Why wouldn't they just be regular ol' heroes and freedom fighters and good guys and adventurers? Why would they be people with giant swords wielding dark arts unless they adapted the idea from the Ishgardian dark knights? I'm just not seeing the correlation here. Every region of Eorzea has had just as much strife as Ishgard, but there's no native culture of dark knights for these places. I don't think the idea goes against lore so much that it's problematic to play, but I do think the justification is weak enough that you shouldn't push other people to accept the idea as potential lore or expect everyone to find your character concept favorable.
