There are a few units throughout the Warscrolls which have synergies not solely within their own factions. Though not as many as first thought, and nothing I can see as being game breaking.
The main areas of synergy are Brettonians and The Empire with the Free People keyword, Vampire Counts and Tomb Kings with the Death keyword, Chaos warriors and Daemons with Bloodbound through the Khorne Keyword and finally Chaos warriors and Daemons with Skaven with the Nurgle keyword.
There are a few other odd occasions where units can affect other factions with generic keywords like War Machine and Monster, but not very many.
One thing I haven't included in this post is units with abilities that affect unit with no keyword requirement. I plan to go through and update this post with a separate list.
Below is a list of units with external synergies:
