I could maybe see that. I don't buy the Viper poisoning him with just Tywin and Kevan in the room. Tywin knew how dangerous he was and certainly would have been cautious.
I think it's more of a statement about how we all end up the same. As regal as Tywin was in life, in death he's just another foul corpse.

I agree with this. I think it was GRRM juxtaposing Tywin's rigid golden persona with the stark reality of malodorous death. Plus, I don't see what would be gained with a belated reveal that he was poisoned. Everyone knows Kings Landing is a treacherous place, one filled with generations of grudges and vendettas.

This.
You don't need a poison to create the smells remarked.
You just need Cersei to insist on him lying in state for seven days with no modern embalming.
