The protagonist, a bright young woman is taken away all her freedom and free will, being forced to act as a noble woman. The process is very disturbing and may be taken as abusive.

No teeth get damaged, however the protagonist’s teeth get dyed all black as part of initiation, which may seem peculiar and cavity-like for non-Japanese viewers.

It is informed that one of the characters breaks his spine due to a bad fall. Viewers know this only based on a verbal report and the injured character is not shown on-screen.

Not exactly, but there are scenes which depicts a young girl（possibly still in her teens）being “taken away forever” from her parents.

One of the characters whisper love towards the protagonist, disguising himself as single. His wife appears shortly after, telling the protagonist that this is not his first time cheating on girls.
Also, there are scenes illustrating the protagonist having a platonic affair with her childhood friend, who already is married to another woman.

The main character gets taken away from earth by a legion of spirits from the moon against her will, however I don't know if it counts as kidnapping.

the main character threatens to kill herself if she is married off without her consent and happiness. The comment is nonspecific. The conversation begins around 1:38:30 and concludes around 1:40:50 with the line itself occurring around 1:40:40 for those who wish to skip :)

While no character has a neurodivergent specific meltdown, there are several scenes where the main character becomes very upset and runs, cries, and/or destroys pieces of her surroundings in response, which may be triggering for some viewers.

There is a brief scene where the main character is watched unknowingly by the emperor while she practices an instrument. There are also several scenes where other people attempt to watch the main character without her consent but do not sucseed in doing so.

Not exactly the case, however, there are scenes depicting strong class-consciousness and prejudice against the lower class.

The original folktale is not a happy-ending story anyway. Its plot is faithfully translated inside the movie.
