Surely a love like that could be strong enough to allow Ace to manifest the Na-Go ID Core.

The problem within abusive parent is that, they ARE loving parents deep down before, as in, a lot of shitty parents think they're doing it right, and that abusive shit they do is not really abusive and for the greater good of their child. A lot of shitty parents love their kids, and would die for them, but they can still be abusive and shitty parents because they don't pause a moment to think they may be doing it wrong because "I love my kid, abusive parents don't love their kids, so I can't be an abusive parent, not me, I'm good", making them almost won't change their ways. They're not necessarily the "cartoon villain" kind who love to be shitty 100% of the time or do evil deeds to hurt their own children, they can be complicated, like any other human.

And I fear that this can further the view of how if a shitty parents of a kid is not 100% evil and dastardly all the time, they're not actually abusive, and that the kid must be exaggerating. Which also can push the view of how the one who wants to stay away from toxic family are the ones seen at fault due to them putting the concept of family in pedestal. Which I also fear that Neon can be demonized as a brat for wanting to run away, or denying how much important family is or "love" she got from her parents until now, when it's about the parents acknowledging they're wrong and that it's Neon's actions that changed them. Or perhaps with her being kidnapped again, think that Irumi "told her so" that she never listens (to her overprotective moves of imprisoning her in home).

You or your actions aren't good or bad based on the outcome, Daichi's actions being undone won't negate the fact that he's a scumbag that has no repercussions in getting what he wants including mass murder.
