I don't think the goalposts have moved. I think you just misunderstood the rules when applying for the visa.
Your wife's visa was issued under a two stage 5 year immigration schedule before eligibility for settlement under ILR
This has been the case for all family settlement applicants since July 2012
Your wife has been initially issued with a visa valid for 33 months.
Shortly before reaching her 30 month anniversary she needs to apply for the second FLR(M) which will again be issued under a 30 month validity.
Shortly before (28 days max) that second FLR(M) visa expiry she'll be eligible for application of ILR
During her time under the spouse visa there's really no specific limitations on the number of days she can be out of UK. There's only an absence count back when it comes to naturalisation. Generally if the number of days outside of UK is limited to 90 days per year she'll be fine.
If she has any plan to be out of UK for more than 90 days in any one year period then you'll need to review that plan against the qualifying residence requirements in force at that time.
There are other significant changes that WILL impact you when time comes for that second FLR relating to an NHS surcharge. I'd suggest you review that one as the costs are not small.
