I'm not familiar with those myths, but I don't think Kubo based Bleach entirely on that. I mean, the concept of Shinigami/Psychopomps exist in practically every single religion/mythology. Does that mean they also have to be winged warrior women (Valkyries) ferrying the dead over a river after payment (Charon)?

Not sure, Botan or at least female Shinigami don’t could right, although for Blue Shinigami maybe look up anything on Buddhist myths of the Sanzu river.
