In episode 1, at 37:27, there is a scene where (presumably) an animal carcass is visible. The skin has been removed, so it looks upsetting.

Episode 3 there are people show reaching out of cages and more that are being kept as slaves.

Episode 3 around the 33:00 mark a man tries to escape a beating and is held back.

Around the 1:00:00 mark it becomes obvious that those held by the orcs are chained by their feet.

Sort of? In Ep 4, a room full of women holding babies is swallowed into the ocean. It's a vision of the future, so it hasn't happened yet, but the imagery and sound were still hard to get through.

It's hard to say yes, but a character does cut themselves on purpose in order to achieve something and some would consider it self harm so I will mark it.

In 1x05, Durin tells Elrond to “fetch his feathery shirts” when he agrees to help him, taking a jab at his Elvish attire which is far less stereotypically ‘manly’ than what dwarves tend to wear. It is more meant as a friendly jab though, given that Durin and Elrond are close friends, and Elrond takes no offense

"Harfoots" are presented as always dirty migrant people, with fake, exaggerated Irish accents. So... There's that... If you wanna look at it in a meta way: the ancestors of the hobbits, that are supposedly depicted here, were not like this either. At all.

Scenes of fantasy fighting and war where elves, orcs, trolls, etc. get injured, killed, and branded. These will be frequent and hard to avoid moving forward with the series.
