There's a scene in the Nightcord stories where kid Mafuyu gets lost at an amusement park. She isn't abandoned, but her mom blames her for it.

Members of Nightcord at 25:00 and Vivid Bad Squad have abusive parents. Members of other SEKAIs, such as Haruka from More More Jump and Emu from Wonderlands x Showtime, are shown to have sub-par family members, although they aren't abusive.

There is a character who is an abuse victim (Ena) who is regularly violent with her brother, although there is debate over whether it's an extremely escalated sibling rivalry or abuse. I'd say most people lean towards it being a sibling rivalry, as Akito regularly fights back.
EDIT: actually it was recently implied that Mafuyu's mom may have experienced similar generational trauma that caused her to abuse Mafuyu.

Yes, but I disagree with the other comment-- Emu was not abused. She was treated sternly by her brothers in the plot surrounding the fate of their family amusement park, but she has always been loved and treated kindly by her family, as shown by later event stories.

There's a brief implication in the show put on during the Wonder Magical Showtime event that a (fictional) foal may have perished in the (fictional) war, but nothing is explicitly said, and also it was a show, so I'm gonna say no.

I remember the fandom hyping up the thoight of Kanade slapping Mafuyu's mother (she is mentally abusive towards Mafuyu) when it would be revealed that Kanade would be confronting Mafuyu's mother. I, for the life of me, cannot remember if that actually happens though.

There are several instances where characters struggle to breathe, either due to running out of breath or due to anxiety, but there is also an instance in the Wonderlands x Showtime unity story where a side character puts Tsukasa into a chokehold so strong that he thinks he might die if he doesn't cooperate. It's played as a sort of half-joke, but it's worth mentioning.

Not in the main setting of the game, but there is a set of Evillious/Seven Deadly Sins crossover cards, each with card stories depicting the stories of the characters from that series. One of which is Banica Conchita, who not only consumes other humans, but eventually, herself. This is included in her card story, though only through dialogue as nothing is shown, and it's implied she tries to consume the person she's reminiscing about her life with (the reader) as well.

One of which is Sudou Kayo, whose card stories mention that her husband and child perished due to a fire. It isn't directly shown, but there is dialogue discussing it, and a nightmare scene with fire effects placed atop the town background image.

Not in the main setting of the game, but in the collaborative Evillious/Seven Deadly Sins crossover cards, there are two notable child deaths in the card stories: one of which being Allen Avedonia (Riliane's servant and twin brother, age 15), and the other Michelle Marlon (Gallerian's daughter, age 16). Their ages are not explicitly stated in the game, however the card stories closely follow the original series, which have known years of birth and death. Also, their deaths are not explicitly shown, however in Allen's case, they display an image of the guillotine used to decapitate him, as well as play a sound effect of the blade falling.

Afterwards, Miku will pop in sever during specific events to talk to the player, and discuss how the original characters (often referred to as things like "those kids") have developed thus far.

Correction: Revival my dream is not misrepresentation of a minority! People claim that it is misrep of native Americans, but actually, it is a representation of the Emishi people. The outfits are also heavily based off of princess mononoke. Western fans just misunderstood and spread misinfo without factchecking.

Not in the game's story content, but several songs in the game, both original versions sung by Vocaloids and covers featuring the original characters of the game (which as of the time of writing are all minors), feature varying levels of sexual implications in their lyrics, ranging from subtle to exceptionally blatant (including moaning?).

I would say no, but I do think it's worth noting that they sure did release three different MVs for Pomp and Circumstance/Ifuudoudou (a highly NSFW song), one of which was the full cover with all of the blatantly sexual lyrics included, and one of which was when they put all four of the boy OCs into the same unit. I think Colorful Palette knows full well what they're doing. It's a little sus.

No, but it is worth noting that in the "A Desperate Situation!? Island Panic!" event story, Wonderlands x Showtime are thrown off of their boat and into the ocean during a storm at sea. It's not talked about much, and no one is hurt from it, but it can be a distressing topic.

During Close Game Offline, the characters play a video game that includes audible gunfire and shows characters moving to dodge it (although this depiction is very limited due to the nature of the stories told via visual novels) while panicking. In A Sorrowful Farewell At The Curtain Call, someone mentions having been woken by gunfire outside in the neighborhood. I only saw one short clip of the first moment and a screenshot of the second, though, so I'm not sure how much it is discussed or how important it is.
Nene is also depicted firing a gun in both versions of her card for the Close Game Offline event, and Haruka is just carrying a rifle in her trained card in Scream: Enter The Wolf Forest. Both events are limited gacha and you can avoid obtaining them by not participating in the gacha during this time if the depictions of guns upsets you, however you might still encounter players using these cards in online matches even after the event is over.
However, this is primarily a rhythm game with isekai/slice of life school days theme. It's avoidable with proper warnings and you won't miss anything significant. As of writing this (11/24/2022), I think these can only be found in the Japanese version of the game as well, so foreign players have time to prepare if this is content they wish to avoid.
