At bare minimum my boundary would be my wife does not attend parties at her sister's house unless it's a family gathering such as Christmas and I am present. Even though I do not like my sister-in-law and her husband there is no way I would be comfortable with my wife going to a party at their house without me present
Think about this. Your wife doesn't know if her marriage is going to survive so cutting ties with her sister and brother-in-law would be foolish because if her marriage does end she will want and need her sisters support so there is probably little chance she would entertain the idea of cutting ties
Your wife does not have to accept or agree to your boundaries same as you do not have to stay in a relationship with her. You are not telling her what she can and cannot do, you are telling her what you will and will not accept in a relationship. At that point she gets to decide which is more important to her
I can easily understand why them cutting ties with the OM would make your life easier because you would not have to worry about your wife being at her sister's house and the OM shows up but what you want means nothing to them it appears
