Interesting thoughts, but isn't kindred also a diety? I'm also curious on the nature of a few other champions that are technically immortal beings, such as Brand. Renekton and Nasus are inspired by actually real life gods, but I'm not sure if they count. Although considering you can kill vilemaw, even if it is much weaker in twisted treeline (I have no proof of it being weaker, I just remember Riot saying baron would be much stronger outside of summoners rift), it stands to reason that immortality isn't actually required to be considered a god in the league of legends universe.

Considering Kindred, I'd want to say sentient, but it's possible it just varies depending on the god. Runeterra definitely has multiple of them, and you can't see Nagakabouros itself, so all we can do is speculate. Someone farther down in the comments had a theory that Illaoi could just be abusing it's power by finding an idol, making it hard to know if we're seeing a part of Nagakabouros, or just a representation of it's domain over the sea.
