That seems to be the most reasonable conclusion. While there is no evidence that Adolf Hitler or any other high-ranking official forbade the use of poison gas in warfare, it seems that the regime's decision not to use it was influenced primarily by tactical and strategic considerations.
The Nazi regime was engaged in a two-front war, and the use of poisonous gas would have carried significant risks, including retaliation from the Allies, potential harm to their own troops, and the logistical and financial costs of producing and deploying the gas. Furthermore, the use of gas may have undermined their control over the territories they occupied, as well as their reliance on slave labor and other forms of forced labor.
Therefore, it seems that the regime's decision not to use poison gas in warfare was mainly influenced by tactical and strategic considerations and not by any explicit forbidding by high-ranking officials.
