Arachnophobia mod
I managed to find one to replace spiders.
But I heard the game also has at least one drider, and I definitely don't want to accidentally meet it.
Is there a solution for this, just in case?

There is indeed one drider. I'd assume an archnophobia mod would do him too, seems like an oversight if not.

From the description, it simply replaces spiders with dogs.
And it says they only tested it in Act 1, whatever that means.
Does arachnaphobia actually encompass spiders that aren't actually real in the mind of the person suffering from that fear? Honest question as I'm intrigued.

Well, in my case it covers everything including very schematic stick drawings of spiders - and even, though not as strongly, objects that aren't spiders but are moving like one (example: The Thing in Wednesday).

Wow that is extremely interesting. I'm sorry you have to manage through that but I appreciate you sharing.

Where'd you get your degree?

On one of the paths you can take in Act 2, there's a drider that's pretty important to the plot, and is in several cut scenes. So I doubt the mod will do anything with that. I'd say, if it doesn't specifically say so in the mod description, it probably doesn't.

Well, to be perfectly clear and transparent... the Drider appears as part of the main story. Other than that, I remember maybe five things I would classify as spiders with my arachnophobia.

I second that, I wouldn't have been able to finish Hogwarts Legacy without an Arachnophobia mod. However, on rare occasions I can handle them. For example in Dragon Age, I would always zoom the camera out as far as humanly possible whenever they were being fought, and that worked. I also get hyper-cautious when I know they might be around. None or modded out are still preferred, much like the OP.
In BG3, I handled the Drider fine, same for the goblin camp ones, but I was in a hurry to leave that part of the camp. In 5e DnD, we've fought spiders, and despite the fact that once again, I tried to keep my character as far as possible, I also handled those decently.
