There is a short subplot with an NPC’s dog that is not plot relevant, but it does display a dog getting sick and eventually passing away if you tune into all of them.

Yes, if you have a successful ambush, Joker will jump on top of the guard's shoulder and kinda chops their head off. This is semi-graphic, the guard turns into a Shadow instead of dying, in which you have to fight them after chopping their head off but characters aren't decapacitated by any other means.

After the first palace, the Phantom Thieves celebrate by going to a buffet. Ryuji overeats and runs to the bathroom. Nothing is heard or shown, but Morgana briefly references it after. When your class takes a trip to Hawaii, it's mentioned that Mishima drank foreign tap water and is heard in pain in the bathroom saying "my... stomach...", but there's no sound effects and no implication of anything specific. Characters occasionally have spoken lines like "makes me wanna p*" but not often and it's very easy to skip them.

The game pulls no punches with its depiction of corrupt law enforcement, right down to having a detective as a major antagonist and even opening with the main hero being mistreated by sadistic police officers. That being said, one of the major characters expresses a desire to join the police force so that she can turn things around, so you may want to keep that in mind.

Artifacts or treasures from a Palace ruler gets destroyed during the Metaverse. This is the only way how a Palace ruler can change their heart, antagonist or not. However, these artifacts aren't real (during the Metaverse), they are part of their cognition, or rather, their deep desires. It's basically a metaphor. But the artifact shown in the real world does end up in your possession, you then can sell it but the real treasure is not destroyed.

In an early cutscenes one is used on the protagonist during interrogation.
Later in the same room, after the prosecutor enters the room, more are seen around the room. To avoid seeing those, you can look away between when the prosecutor enters the room, and until they say "bastards".
In the clinic, there is a poster with less detailed, cartoonish representations of syringes.

Goro Akechi says that he occasionally wishes Santa Clause were real, though if he were, he would have to arrest him for breaking and entering.

Generally, no, but it is possible to get a bad end.

Yes, when a main character attempts to stop a car. Another example is when a side-character is about to be hit by a truck

A side character is shown to have been hit by a car, killing them. The actual collision is not seen, but the character jumping in front of the car and the aftermath is.

Aside from the stylized blood, there are a few cutscenes showing the real deal.

No, but some nuclear abilities are portrayed as explosions.

To my knowledge it usually only happens in The Metaverse, as characters have normal melee and ranged attacks (which are usually guns). But there is an attempted assassination quite late in the game where the main character gets shot in the head. Whether you live or die depends on the choices you make during the interrogation scene before that, but regardless of your decision the cutscene shows the protag getting shot in the head. It should also be noted that the animation is not very graphic.
