While showers/baths might go in as a positive boost (reduce scent, morale bonus) they will not go in as a “take a shower or suffer” type thing, thus effects on NPC conversations from not taking a shower almost certainly won’t happen. (In general for things like this we are fine with accepting positive rewards for doing a task, but not punishments for not doing a task).
