Pardon my ignorance but is this something that could, in theory, trigger a cell to become cancerous or trigger the body to develop an autoimmune condition (as the spike protein is created by the body's own cells)?

short answer, is no
this is not a constituative expression and the cell expressing the foriegn protien is often destroyed later in the process but not always as the vaccine mRNA is edited out of the cytoplasm not replaced by genetic expression and the novel protien goes into turnover mode.
