FLR (M) LONG ABSENCE REQUESTION

hi, i was granted spouse visa in July 2016 and entered the uk with my husband at that point. In April 2019 i was grated FLR (M). In october 2020 we left the UK to escape covid an spend time with my ailing grandmother and we are returning in october 2021 before my visa expires. My husband has been employed in the UK this whole time but working out of Australia so we always intended on returning. In the 4 years and 3 months leading up to us coming to australia i was in the UK the whole time. is there a chance my ILR (M) will be rejected as a result of this absence? I know there is no time limit on my visa for being out of the country but are they likely to reject my application. We meet all criteria and didnt have any issues with my previous applications but am worried they may reject on these grounds even though there is nothing specific that says I have broken any rules. Husband british citizen, two children dual citizens, Australia/UK.
Anyone been in this position? We have been together the whole time and we have no issues proving that, the only potential issue is the absence time.
