Or we can assume that it's "just" around level 30-50 like the death knights(around gazef stronoff level strength) and are thus insufficient for guarding him. He mentioned that even level 70 undead is hardly worthy of protecting him or the guardians, and seemed to barely make do with the level 80 or so angels.

I am guessing that the death cavalier is probably around mid tier summons, so they're not high level undeads, they're just small fries to Ainz. If you go out and has to bring protection, would you bring along a bunch of bunnies? Unless you go for the monthy python rabbits with sharp teeth, I doubt it'd be a good idea :P Though he should accept that even monsters at the level of death knights, death warriors and probably death cavaliers are suitable for protection against just about anything in this new world. Death cavalier with it's unusually good appearance and ability to talk seems to be a good choice of guards. I mean, even the mounts his guys use are capable of wiping out tens of thousands of people easily and just adamantite level people might have a small chance of victory, depending on who it is ofc.

Edit: I re-read your comment and realized that I somehow misunderstood what you meant. But still, I don't believe they're mercenary beings. It's plausible but not likely since Ainz can probably summon something like that himself. What he meant as "subordinates" is probably Albedos special forces team that she wanted to make "the strongest", which includes her dangerous, dangerous sister along with a lot of other powerful beings, powerful even by the guardians standards(and would she deploy secret/special forces/the strongest team just for escorting her?). There's no reason for death cavaliers to cost that much, these twenty death cavaliers are likely just going to function as official escorts and nothing more. Of course, I might be wrong, but cavaliers should just be another version of death warriors and death knights and around the same level as them with different specializations, that makes sense.

Oh, and I just read the beginning of chapter 3 again, it's mentioned there at the first few sentences of chapter 3 part 1 volume 10 that Ainz created the 20 death cavaliers, it wouldn't be written like that if he used some money for them to be created. "Surrounding these carriages were 20 Death Cavaliers which Ainz had created".
