No, but there's some ... pretty intense possessive behaviour from one half of a couple that results in a lot of yelling. Like, on the verge of violence, but it never boils over. It's definitely uncomfortable at times.

JesseViolet is mostly right, but on at least one occasion, you see the dead body of a fox torn open, with guts and viscera spilling out, while a vampire is eating its entrails.

I watched this on HBO Max, so the time stamps are from there.
There are only some in season 1, and none in season 2. Basically, any time the main character is sleeping is when you need to beware. Any episode not mentioned below, has no spiders or webs.
Episode 1 - From 16:40 to 16:50.
Episode 2 - From 4:45 to 5:12.
Episode 4 - Trapped in thick web from 7:35 to 7:37.
Episode 6 - Ethereal hanging webs from 20:17 to 21:37.
Mixed in with the flashbacks from 24:50 to 25:05.
Episode 7 - Slowly gets covered in ethereal looking webs that float from 8:29 to 9:10.

There is a snake design on a woman's shoe that comes to life but the snake is gently picked up and removed from the room. There's no horror or violent drama with the snake.

There’s a plot in season 3 where a vampire has kidnapped several women so he can rape and impregnate them as an attempt to make vampire/witch hybrid babies. This is heavily implied but as of 305, hasn’t been shown explicitly on screen.

The black woman is the mentally ill one who gets killed. Not the first side character to die.
Also diana’s aunt who dies is the one who is black.

Hate Speech in terms of witches, vampires and demons talking hatefully, disparagingly and prejudicially against one another simply because of their classification.

(Spoiler) One of the (so far) only main wlw couple gets murdered. Wasn't homophobic murder, but targeted because of her power. Not an intentional bury your gays but the murder wasn't written as well or with as much respect as other deaths in the show. Hard-hitting as they're an older wlw couple who have been together for decades & we're shown the surviving woman grieving and desperate to find her when she realises she's missing
