Medullary thyroid carcinoma (personal or family history) or multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2: absolute contraindication. The rodent preclinical signal is real enough to exclude this population.
Personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma — what changed since
Severe hepatic impairment: less is known than for kidney disease. Extreme caution or contraindication depending on the specific degree of impairment.
This follows post #26 rather than contradicting it.
Diabetic retinopathy complications: a signal for this was noted in SUSTAIN 6. Current evidence is mixed. The risk is not zero and some caution is appropriate in people with baseline retinopathy.
Picking up post #35: that is the part I would want checked first.

Severe renal impairment (eGFR <15): these compounds are renally cleared and accumulate in severe kidney disease. Risk-benefit is unfavourable without dose adjustment.
History of pancreatitis: these compounds can rarely trigger pancreatitis. History of pancreatitis increases relative risk. That is a relative contraindication, not absolute, but requires monitoring.
Coming back to post #71, because the follow-up matters more than the original answer.
