Doesn't this theory require Palpatine to assume that, as part of his master plan, Darth Vader will be horribly injured and require robotic life support?

did Palpatine assume that, or did he understand Anakin, the Dark Side, and the inevitable conclusion of the Clone Wars well enough to anticipate that sculpting Vader into his ultimate right hand would involve cybernetics? We're talking about a genius strategist able to orchestrate a galactic war as the highest ranking politician of both factions.

No not at all. He wanted Skywalkers body not damaged so he would eventually pass into him. He didn't want that after his injuries. He still had the best team to create his suit over night after mustafar.
