It's called Fiction for a reason. If the writers so feel like it, they can make Gods real in-universe, be they "original" gods or gods taken from some random pantheon from real life.

Same as with magic and fantastical creatures. If the writers so feel like it, people can shoot fire from their hands even in the vaccum of space while winged unicorns are flying around.

It's only a problem if the idea of "deities existing for real" doesn't serve even a tiny purpose to the work and has no reason to be there. Which is not the case with RWBY, which already had rocks that contain the powers of the elements and eldritch abominations that defy thermodynamics even before Magic was introduced.
