Have any critiques of Lindbeck's principles been offered by academics?

Don't infer that I style myself a theologian or anything of the sort just because I am answering your question (I don't, and am not doing so), but I would suggest there are a few important things wrong with this set of criteria that I can see, and which ought to be considered.
In the first place, the criterion as such coming from George Lindbeck means that it will be at best the greatest way to be closest to George Lindbeck's idea of what Christianity ought to be, and what criteria it ought to meet, not what Christianity is as a matter of fact—if it is claimed to be much more, namely, if it is claimed to be an objective set of criteria, one has admitted they already know Christianity, and can thus affirm that it comports with George Lindbeck's criteria—and thus have no need to arrive at a Christology they already have. I need not point out the insufferable circularity here.
Second, the terms "centered on Jesus" are entirely subjective. What 'breaches' centered on Jesus? Who decides?
"All highest possible significance" is even more subjective.
