TL;DR Summary
We can consider atomic nucleus fixed, so we suppose it doesn't move. But for what elements is Born–Oppenheimer approximation the least accurate (the nucleus moves a "a lot")?
I would say that for the elements with the lowest atomic numbers, because these elements have their nuclei the lightest and so they can move more and their movement influence electrons more than in some heavier elements, whose nuclei move less. Am I right or not?

I don't understand the question. The BO approximation applies to molecules, not individual atoms, so I don't understand the consideration of elements.

Also, saying that the BO approximation is "nuclei don't move" is an oversimplification (although it is used often in elementary introductions to the subject). It is more that variations of electronic wave functions with respect to nuclear motion are neglected. In many molecules one will find, for example, crossing electronic states where the BO approximation breaks down. See for instance conical intersection.

Not an expert in QM. AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is quite different from the classical wave equation. The former is an equation for the dynamics of the state of a (quantum?) system, the latter is an equation for the dynamics of a (classical) degree of freedom. As a matter of fact, Schrödinger's equation is first order in time derivatives, while the classical wave equation is second order. But, AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is a wave equation; only its interpretation makes it non-classical...
I am not sure if this falls under classical physics or quantum physics or somewhere else (so feel free to put it in the right section), but is there any micro state of the universe one can think of which if evolved under the current laws of nature, inevitably results in outcomes such as a table levitating? That example is just a random one I decided to choose but I'm really asking about any event that would seem like a "miracle" to the ordinary person (i.e. any event that doesn't seem to...
