That's possible. But it's also possible that she was the only one paid well enough to die on that hill and the rest of them would have passed the bill without it just so they have something to campaign on for the midterms.

Yes, that is also a possibility.
I bet if the vote was singularly for legislation about carried interest taxation, the votes would have been the same way (given their historical voting patterns).
I would be more persuaded if carried interest was not already a contentious issue that Repubs have had plenty of opportunity to change themselves. The fact that they did not indicated it is not just Sinema who is against removing the carried interest loophole.
