"Um es zur Kritikprophylaxe gleich vorweg zu sagen: Die Gestaltung des mit Abbildung 5.0 gezeigten Objekts entspricht keinesfalls dem, was ich Ihnen in diesem Buch als gelungene Aufmachung vorstellen möchte. Die im Bild gezeigte Form wurde nur deswegen gewählt, um die nachstehend beschriebenen Elemente zusammenfassend vorstellen zu können."
I assume that, with "zur Kritikprophylaxe", the author here means something like "To avoid any criticism, (I'd just like to say from the outset that..."). The style of this text is quite informal.

Might suit the informal style of your text - I am sure that, as you suggest, it means "to preempt criticism".
