There is a mostly visual joke in The Unnatural where Niles is jealous of Freddy "riding" Daphne, and Frasier's teenage romance with a piano teacher is portrayed as enviable and steamy.

Niles's first wife, Maris, is manipulative and cruel. She controls her husband completely, throws things at him, kicks him out of their house for standing up to her, and cheats on him with their marriage counselor.

Not on screen, but Niles reminds Frasier of a horse's rotting body to help suppress sexual urges towards his ex-wife.

There's an entire episode, "Death and The Dog", built around the premise of Eddie being unhappy and nobody being able to figure out why. Spoiler - it turns out he's been missing his favourite doll.

S01 E10: Bulldog forcibly kisses Roz on screen and it is played off as a joke.
S02 E01: It is revealed that while underage, Frasier had sex with a teacher. I found forced kisses and similar assault pretty common on this show and played for laughs. This list is not complete - I burned out on this show around seasons 3 and 4

Frasier puts a lizard in a box as a prank. The lizard escapes and bites a part of his bosses finger off, we do not see the finger fall of, and she is taken to the hospital and the finger is fixed.

No, however a tribute to the series creator/showrunner and his wife, who were killed onboard American Airlines Flight 11, appears during the credits of the season 9 premiere (it doesn't mention how they died.) Also, by an eerie coincidence, in the season 4 finale, a character is mentioned as arriving on American Airlines Flight 11.

"Rooms with a view" is about characters remembering times they were in a hospital while one of the main characters undergoes emergency heart surgery. It is treated very seriously, though he makes a complete recovery.

Niles' wife Maris eats next to nothing, often only smells on the food before her than eating it, this is made fun of several times. And when Niles finally breaks up with her she starts to comfort eat and gains a lot of weight.

Very soft yes on this one. Although the show is very anti-ableist, there are scenes where Frasier struggles to be politically correct (for the time period) and usually ends up accidentally being ableist.

No, but Frasier's ex-wife and son are Jewish, so there is some gentle making light of the religion and Frasier's naivety surrounding it.
