A soldier in power armor is trampled underfoot by a large alien animal during a battle scene, the canopy of the cockpit they operate in is crushed in the process. It's a quick and bloodless scene but it's implied that he's killed in the moment.

Not exactly cheating. Two people are destined to marry (the Na’vi equivalent of, anyway) but one falls in love with another before this happens. The other feels and displays feelings of betrayal.

While it may not technically be a meltdown.. after Hometree is destroyed and Neytiri's father dies, when Jake tries to comfort Neytiri, she turns on him screaming. She shouts and screams at him to leave and never come back before cradling her dead father sobbing loudly into the sky.
Also beforehand when Neytiri learns that Jake and Grace knew that the RDA was planning to attack if they didn't leave their home, she starts to breakdown, yelling and crying that she trusted him. He tries to explain, as well as Grace, but Neytiri cuts them off with a shout shoving Jake and saying he will never be one of the People. She is crying and shrugs off her mother's attempt to comfort her as well.

There is no gender dysphoria. Votes/replies of yes are mixing up with the term "gender dysphoria" with body dysmorphia based around the main character's paralysis in his own body but being able-bodied in his Na'vi body.

Not exactly but! white humans control Na'vi avatar bodies which clearly look different than their human bodies. The Na'vi, although alien, are clearly inspired/based off multiple IRL Native American groups.

Later, Jake is able to transfer his consciousness/soul into a Na'vi body. Movie also leans heavily into the white saviour trope by Jake saving all Na'vi from the bad humans. He also gets the title of Toruk Makto, something not many Na'vi get to claim.

The same physical connection that equates a sexual relationship between Na’vi is made between many Na’vi and the wildlife of Pandora. This isn’t for the same purposes and isn’t portrayed as bestiality whatsoever.

This is a tough one.... We are not sure if the main character is but later in the film they say "we are mated for life" insinuating that Na'vi people are chaste

The main character is paralysed and uses a wheelchair as a result (paralytic is a term for someone who is very drunk btw).

There are multiple explosions when planes crash and when an important spiritual tree is destroyed.

Very minor amount. Enough for you to know someone is injured but it is not anywhere near gore

I mean, yes in a way? When they destroy Hometree, it was set on fire from the rockets and there was large amounts of ash and smoke.
