Is there any theorizing or research being done around potential non-heating harmful effects of non-ionizing radiation?

Not directly, because there's no plausible hypothesis by which it could cause any biological effects whatsoever.

  Yes, there is. And a hypothesis needs to be tested. Science!

Microwave News (nothing to do with Microwave Ovens) covers the non-heating research. https://www.microwavenews.com https://www.microwavenews.com

The book "The Body Electric: Electromagnetism And The Foundation Of Life" by Robert Becker and Gary Selden, is a foundational book for this research. First published in 1998. Becker in his research found that lower power levels could have biological effects, everything else being equal, than higher power levels.

“DNA Breathing Dynamics in the Presence of a Terahertz Field” by B. S. Alexandrov, V. Gelev, A. R. Bishop, A. Usheva, K. O. Rasmussen (Submitted on 28 Oct 2009) "Abstract: We consider the influence of a terahertz field on the breathing dynamics of double-stranded DNA. We model the spontaneous formation of spatially localized openings of a damped and driven DNA chain, and find that linear instabilities lead to dynamic dimerization, while true local strand separations require a threshold amplitude mechanism. Based on our results we argue that a specific terahertz radiation exposure may significantly affect the natural dynamics of DNA, and thereby influence intricate molecular processes involved in gene expression and DNA replication." https://arxiv.org/abs/0910.5294 https://arxiv.org/abs/0910.5294
