There is more to that - the mere attempt by Ellaria will cost her her life, but probably still plunge Dorne into war. Jamie isn't going to be happy that having just recovered (and confessed re his being her father) Myrcella, that a Dornish scheme tried to take her away.

The flip side is that she is dead and King's Landing / Dorne do declare war (recall - "we don't hurt little girls in Dorne"), but the Jamie / Cerse relationship is permanently ruined....freeing Jamie to do????
