No but some may consider the corruptors, metal devils, spectres and other machines to be spider-like.
In addition there is a creepy-looking device in the game used to store very important data that has spider-like features and is called "Recluse Spider"

Arguably.
MAJOR SPOILERS.
A major antagonist is implied to have attempted grooming a major character, and seems intent on grooming the protagonist. There is no direct mention of pedophilia or things related to it, but if you have trauma related to it, it is likely to be a bit harmful.

One or two characters make vague ableist comments towards an amputee character. One group has a culture which strongly values fighting ability and one side quest states that they consider it mercy to have disabled people die in a battle to the death against machines (an honourable death). In this side quest, a blind character is faced with the possibility of this happening, but you arrange for them to move away. In both cases ableism is portrayed negatively.
