To stop pillagers from spawning in outposts, you need to remove all grass/sand blocks in the area and light the place up to prevent pillager spawns, or alternatively, replace the wooden floors with bottom slabs of any type. By doing so, you can prevent pillagers from constantly spawning in the outpost and make it a safe base or home, especially in survival servers.
Understanding Pillager Spawns
Pillagers may naturally spawn on any valid opaque block (except leaves) as long as the block light level is 8 or less. They cannot, however, spawn on blocks that emit a light level of 14 or greater.
