My rear rim have 3 dent 2 small and one big. I have no problems with the tires. I run tubeless and the tires keep holding air and I didnt have any problem one year later. Is worth to fix the big one dent or not?

This is so common it's not even a thing. Ride till doesn't hold sealant, then when it doesn't seal stuff a tube in there and keep riding. Keep riding untill it implodes. Note that if it's a front wheel then maybe swap the rim before that last bit.

I already swaped the rims. I put the dented one front and the good one back.

You need to hold the big dent close to the internet for a more complete opinion.

That doesn't look so bad. Most of that can be straightend.

Morningstar tools used to sell an aluminum rim bending tool that worked great. You could easily enough fabricate one though.
