Front derailleur.
Maybe rear derailleur. If currently short cage, you will need at least a mid-cage for chain take up.
Chain should be fine, unless you go to bigger big ring on the new triple crank.
Maybe cables and maybe tape. Totally dependant on you skills in getting them off and back on. I typically plan to replace both.
Other than that, you should be fine.
here's an interesting aside from Jan Heine, suggesting that a double FD might work ok on a triple:

How well does a double front derailler, like the Shimano CX-70 recommended in your post, move the chain across a triple crankset, as recommended. Don’t triple front deraillers usually have a somewhat longer reach that doubles?
