>Or was there really some deeper reason?
She was reputedly unbelievable in the bedroom, lots of David's (Edward VIII's) friends later said that he had intimated as much to them. She could apparently edge him to a degree that he found unbelievable. At least one of them thought she must have learned such techniques in China, though I'm not sure how true that is.

>I assume 1936 was too early for the nazi stuff to be a concern.
You assume wrongly, that was the entire concern. The intelligence files are all public information now, Wallis was an agent of Ribbentrop's and the British security services knew it almost from the beginning. David, naturally, knew nothing but IIRC they weren't sure if he was serving the Nazis willingly or not.
The British establishment knew it was going to go to war with the Nazis a long time before Molotov-Ribbentrop, it just didn't feel the armed forces were strong enough to do so.
