I think losing one of his close friends. Tamao, Reno, Kenichi or Abercrombie, even Daddy Walrus or Doctor Eli-Phunt would cause him terrible sadness.
I don't know if that was ever addressed, Astro would be around to watch friends grow older and pass on while he remained the same.

I think that of all possible things, the making robots' AI less intelligent, as was suggested by anti-AI groups in several manga stories in response to crimes that were blamed on robots. The idea was to reduce them to mindless slaves, & Tawashi was all to eager to see it.

Nahh, he could get bodily upgrades, like Tenma proposed, only without the super death weapons and more emphasis on mimicking human maturity.
What would scare Astro?
Maybe a HeeHaw marathon?

I agree.

While I'd be worried about it too, I also have faith that Astro would be intelligent enough to adapt. After all, adults around him seem to appreciate him anyway. And IMO in the 1980 series he was already surpassing his parents!
