No. That visa was issued in 2017. Absence limits ONLY apply for a PBS dependant visa period that was ISSUED on or after 11 Jan 2018. So only absences from 14-02-2020 and onwards are counted

So when we apply ILR, it will not reject

The absences do not matter. You can be potentially be refused for some other reason
