Good idea but he’s not a separatist. He’s in the same position darth maul is. It would be basically like giving maul the separatist tag even though he only works with them slightly
Let's look at the Separatist leaders that we know directly reported to him and took commands from him in their capacity as Separatists that we already have in-game: Poggle the Lesser, Count Dooku, General Grievous, Asajj Ventress, Nute Gunray... At a certain point even the Jedi know that Sidious is the name of the person really in charge of the Separatists, they just don't know it's Palpatine. Yoda has a vision where he sees Sidious in the robes and fights him - the same exact rendering of the character that we have in-game.
His existence is not secret to the other Separatist leaders, his status as their leader is only secret to the rest of the galaxy. The fact that the Separatist cause is a front for the Sith Grand Plan does not disqualify him, if it did, it would disqualify Dooku as well - who is in on that plan. Both Sidious and Dooku are acknowledged within the Separatist leadership to be the first and second leaders respectively, both are insincere Separatists at the same time. Both should get the tag.
