No, but used in certain contexts it can have a racist undertone and history.

it depends on the context and usage

Honestly I don't get the point of asking this question without describing which usage of the word is in question

It's outdated in most contexts other than "really good at some skill", but that's it.
Even the LOTR movies ditched it, a couple decade ago.

No.

"Master of the house."
"Master lock."
"Master and pupil."

It's stupid to retroactively make something offensive in order to present oneself in a superficially positive light. There are other battles to be had. A housing company disowning the term "master bedroom" shouldn't be one of them. It's just cheap publicity.

Definitely contextual but some uses are like...what?

Like master cylinder and slave cylinders in engines or master clock/slave clock in telephony.
