Well death has meaning in the sense that it happens and it sticks. But you could jump back and take someone before death - although technically it’s a different person and the death still happened.
It’s important to remember that it’s all about that single timeline point of view and that’s what we’re seeing. Within that the rule is simple: you can’t change your past. If you go back, that’s now your future and the future is your past and, as established, you can’t change your past.
That’s why the only real issue is Rogers at the end but only if you take it that he was living in that timeline, which would mean the past was changed. But I didn’t take it that way when watching the movie, possibly because they were very clear on that rule.
One caveat to that is that it related to their time travel methods. The time stone might work completely differently.
