I think its ok to give a little in terms of flavor (you're right, its flavorfully "dark" like Rakdos not "light" like Boros) in order to get better results. Hellrider is a phenomenally good creature and is a great choice for Boros aggro, despite the flavor mismatch.
It's a key player in any and all Boros decks that I've seen in my area performing well. Most of these are "Barely Boros" and in reality RDW splashing white for Boros Charm.
Don't worry about the flavor so much. It's a killer card.
I want to add this card to a Boros deck, but it seems a bit out of place being a demon and belongs in Rakdos.

Problem is I've now found something interesting, and now my Boris deck is more of a mid range deck
