I'm not going to argue about whether there truly -are- "no-limits" servants, because the thing is, to test your theory, for a situation like you describe, really requires two things, not one... it requires both a servant who has yielded all boundaries in a comprehensive-authority dynamic (and those -do- exist, and I've managed more than one personally) -and- a Keeper who is so lacking in pragmatism or rational thought that xhe is actually -willing- to destroy such an individual on a whim, to prove a point... and it -still- doesn't answer the question, because really, perhaps death wasn't a limit, but somewhere out there, there may, possibly, have been something else that might have been. Death is -not- necessarily the "ultimate bad outcome" for some folks (for example, we've had professional bodyguards on two separate occasions while traveling abroad who -weren't- in a D/s relationship with us, but who would -definitely- have taken a mortal wound for EB or SR). Personally, though you may be right that it isn't possible to have -no- limits, we've had several servants who went far enough in that direction that, at least for MY purposes, they might as well have been "no limits", because finding what -was- a limit was so far beyond the realm of what I would be willing to do that, if there -was- a limit out there, it really wouldn't, pragmatically, matter to me at all.
Also, I think that the issue of comprehensive authority dynamics are really a separate issue from 24/7/365 dynamics, because it is possible to have a full-time, fully committed relationship where the servant still has boundaries and things that are not released completely. All that 24/7/365 expresses is that this is a living commitment, rather than a temporary arrangement for a limited time, at the end of which the authority dynamic will be set aside (ie, bedroom submission, 'weekend' submission, or top/bottom scene-only submission).
