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.

There are scenes where animals are hunted by the vampires who eat them but you never actually see the animal get eaten. Just blood. But there are 1 or 2 scenes where animals and creatures are preserved in apothecary jars.

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.

Implied. A vampire has kept witches "under his thrall" in the past. More explicit in S3 when a vampire kidnaps and imprisons witches to attempt to impregnate them.

Kind of. This season has several episodes with scenes in what is an abandoned hospital. It strikes me as more of a mental hospital than a traditional hospital, but it's so old-fashioned that it's hard to tell.

Genuinely every other episode in season 1 has severe flashing lights. Every time there is a flashback and during scenes of intense magic usage there is serious flashing lights and the screen flashing to white. Please be careful if you’re watching this if you’re photosensitive.

(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
