FYI, it is not bad taste, it is proper etiquette to RSVP to an invitation. Also, you are not required to give a reason. You can't "think" it is bad taste because it is not, it is proper.
However, if you choose to request RSVP only if it's a "yes", that is certainly your option.

hello,
this is Moshe, the group's organizer,
a day or two ago, I added info as to who will speak
but I will still try to bring one or two other speakers.
please DO make comments
and if you do not want to come, please just do not RSVP
I think it is in bad taste to RSVP "no" unless if you also add comment as to why.
all the best
Moshe
