For a spouse visa holder applying for ILR, your residence clock starts from the date of entry to the UK. The reference you are making to date of visa issue is for a completely different visa category.
A spouse visa holder can apply for ILR no sooner than within 28 days before reaching 5years residence, ie within 28 days of 5th anniversary of entering the UK.
The 28 days before concession, whether from date of entry or date of visa issued depending on category of visa held, applies to ALL UK immigration applications. It has been in place for many years and while many rules change, this concession has not.
1000s have done this, myself included for ILR from a spouse visa, and not had refusals or problems.
