Not if it is your first time playing the game and you haven't watched how to defeat it beforehand. I think it gives a bit of variety to how bosses are fought, and if you still want to fight a boss properly at the end of the level, there's always the Nameless King.

I consider the whole gauntlet of enemies as part of the boss fight, focusing more in reaching the plunging attack spot alive than dealing with the wyvern itself. I also like how the first time it appears, the suspicious-looking open space hints you that perhaps it should not be fought by normal means.

Additionally, you can always fight the second wyvern if you like. Sure, it's not a hard boss but it's completely optional.
