Can Instant Pot Veggie Fajitas be made Vegetarian or Vegan?

To keep it vegan simply select vegan-friendly toppings.

What changes can I make to the ingredients?

The Peppers Any color of pepper or combination of thereof would just fine

The Seasoning You could add additional chili powder or some hot sauce for a less spicy version of the dish.

Can this dish be made in a Slow Cooker?

Absolutely. To use a slow cooker instead of the Instant Pot, you will need to adjust the timing and initial cooking. Begin by heating a skillet over medium-high. Add the onion and pepper strips and sauté for several minutes. Remove from the skillet and place in the slow cooker. Add all remaining ingredients except for the tomatoes to your slow cooker. Cook on High for one and a half hours. Add the halved cherry tomatoes and cook on High for an additional 2 hours.
