Character descriptions (describing diverse characters)

I'm working on a novel in which half of the Earths population are transported to a different world and all live together there in relative harmony and peace. My characters are very diverse in terms of gender, sexual orientation, age, race and ethnicity, and socioeconomic standing. I am curious how in depth I should go into character descriptions - particularly physical appearance based descriptions. I want the reader to see and understand the diverse cast they're reading about. But I also don't want to go overboard or risk using descriptors that may be offensive or inherently racist. I'm curious how much description of physical appearance you all think is appropriate?

I have read many posts about "not needing to describe Asian eyes or black skin tones", however, the diversity of my characters is very important to me. Am I better off hoping I can cue the reader in with other descriptors and minimizing those about physical appearance? Or are these things valuable in a story where said diversity has a purpose?
