The dad makes a brief joke about potentially having to eat their pet dog. The rest of the family rejects the idea and he says it was a bad joke.

A character is unintentionally neglected and isolated, but it’s depicted in a flashback in comedic way. Explaining how they become the abuser in that same way is a spoiler for the core plot. No one abuses anyone under the common definition or implication.

The father comes off as controlling towards the family, ignoring the child's hobby, breaking the childs electronics, canceling her flight against her will, forcing the family on a week-long trip. The father also manipulates the family to destroy their smartphones. The mother comes over as enabling, passive and meek.
The movie implies that the daughter who planned to go no contact should be more understanding and empathic.
The father comes around in the end, but the controlling behaviour is not addressed.

This is what the movie is about.
The father is shown as very controlling, arranging a journey against the familys will, and breaking the kids devices twice. You could argue the first broken device was an accident, but the device was essential for his child's study, he didn't say sorry nor did he replace it. The second time he breaks the kids phones with manic joy. The father is also disinterested about his daughter's hobby or study.
The daughter is dismissive of her father and the movie takes a "both sides" stance towards this. Showing the daughter forgiving her father as correct and right thing to do.

A theme in the movie is how the main family and many other people are dependent on their technology, but it is for comedy purposes and not really serious addiction.

The mule's outcome of the situation is indeterminable. It's followed by a screen that says "No animals were harmed in this documentary" which could be taken literally or as satire.

A bunch (I'd say 10) of spiders crawl on the car. Very short scene (1-2 sec), for comedy purposes (no danger from the spiders, no interaction with them, no consequence, they are just briefly passing by)

SPOILER: Countless people are put in small individual pods and told that they'll soon be launched into space. They're sure to die horribly from cold, starvation and/or lack of oxygen (or whatever; I'm no rocket scientist). At the very least, that must be considered psychological torture.

No, however there is one scene where a character mentions having to use the bathroom during an action scene. I half-expected him to make a comment afterwards about how he didn't need to use the bathroom anymore due to wetting his pants out of fear, but he doesn't. (After successfully finding a bathroom, he also says it was a false alarm.)

Yes, there is! There are many, in fact, showing the same situation: Countless people are forcibly placed in transparent one-person pods that they can't escape from, and the pods are stacked. The people stay in the pods throughout most of the movie. We don't see many of them up close, though, and the claustrophobic aspect isn't played up.

No, but there is a scene where the father asks his teenage daughter "How do I look?" and she tells him he looks great. It's portrayed as a tender moment between them, but the father is controlling and infantilizing towards her throughout the movie, which can put an uncomfortable edge on the interaction.
