Yes, sure, Mr. Bennet doesn't beat or cheat on his wife, he has cleared an extremely low bar, but who in Austen's novels does? This is the novelist who tore down a heroine for mildly insulting a spinster, you think she is okay with a man who exposes his wife "to the contempt of her own children"? Like honestly you think Jane Austen is okay with a man who repeatedly calls his own daughters stupid?
