Technically not. But the main very creepy older villain, forces a 14 year old girl to marry him, to the point of threatening to hurt her sister. There's no reference to anything sexual, but it's still disturbing

No one is shown being burned on-screen, but part of the story involves arson, and some characters (parents) suffer from that arson. That is simply known, not shown. So, technically, yes.

Aunt Josephine is mentally ill, she clearly has an anxiety disorder and possibly intrusive thoughts, she is afraid of everything. For example she gets scared of Klaus being near the fridge because she thinks it's going to fall on him. She never has an anxiety attack but some people might find this triggering.

There are no characters in the movie who are confirmed to be LGBT, the androgynous person is in the books and the series but they aren't an important character in the movie nor does anything bad happen to them.

Although there is no car crash within the movie, there is a long scene where the children switch the tracks from an oncoming train that is going to hit their parked car. The intensity and suspense of this scene can definitely be triggering to some.

(In the movie and books) When the Beaudelaires come back to Aunt Josephine's house, they discover that the window overlooking a body of water is broken, implying she was pushed out and drowned.
