But i don't know if there is any tbh. I mean no one stated that earth Dragon Balls were the first one or that they don't gain any negative energy right?
So there isn't really anything that would retcon possibility of Black Star balls or Shadow Dragons existence.

If there is one thing that might be retconned it's a fact that Kais didn't pick Rildo and other machine-mutants when looking for ToP team but if i am not mistaken they were in hurry and just took people from Earth without doing research so even that doesn't seem to erase possibility of their existence. Also, we don't know how strong Rildo was at this point (it's still 10 years gap remember)

It was also said that Pan never saw dragon balls before GT and Super kinda replace this when Pan is sick, but:
-It was also anime-only scene. So it's a filler retconning a filler.
-Pan was a baby so she simply might not remember seeing them

But Goku's fear of needles from Z doesn't seem to be retconned in any way unless Goku would be scared of Frost.
GT is a different continuity from super and super is there to pretty much retcon it and frieza gets a golden form also he is alive again and Kibito Kai is split back to shin and Kibito your just making stuff up.Besides that was the old anime continuity Toriyama made a new timeline.

The whole Otherworld Tournament stuff works. The anime's depictions of East and West Kaio haven't been touched by any other stuff, same with Grand Kaio. I guess you could say that Paikuhan acts a bit differently in Movie 12 than in the filler arc, but aside from that, nothing's really touched anything besides the early bits with Freeza and co.

I would say yamcha and Kuririn's strength in anime only filler hasn't been retconned and it makes perfect sense considering Kuririn's power in dbs

Yep, still hanging around King Kai's place. Mr Satan's agent and his two disciples from the Cell Games are also still around in Super.

Ginyu stealing Bulma's body was indirectly referenced in Super judging by the latter's reaction to the former's appearance. Good thing it was one of the fillers kept in Kai...
