Spector said himself on the Today programme this morning that anecdotally loss of smell and taste is often a precursor to other symptoms.
But to answer your question directly, yes, I think so. We're trying to avoid spreading it round and we only know what we know. Yes it would be great to have more evidence, better quality evidence, but we don't have that yet.
Also, practically, it's pretty unusual to lose your sense of smell/taste and have no other symptoms.
