No. They are completely stand alone. There’s not even a single reference to the first film.

There is one reference, but you don't lose much from not knowing it. Blanc tells Bron that he knows from personal experience not to mess with anonymous invitations, which is how he got involved in the Thrombey case.

I think that line is so interesting because we learn later that Blanc's invitation to Bron's island wasn't anonymous at all. So while he's telling the truth, in his experience anonymous invitations are bad, he's using it to lie to Bron. Bron would've been better off heeding Blanc's warning.
