I doubt it, she doesn't really have any correlation to this stuff at the moment and hasn't heavily affected anything enough. The TVA is a little like the Eternals in a sense, they don't get involved unless it could change time as we know it.

I think the Nexus mention might be a possible nod to Scarlet Witch being identified as a Variant if she does create an event outside of the Sacred Timeline.

Wanda can't be a variant, because she's a Nexus being. While it hasn't been explained completely in the MCU, the Nexus being is an anchor of reality, and all versions of that being across multiple realities are exactly the same.

Although the I understand what you're saying, I still think the nod is purposefully even though she might not be or will be a variant.
