Going by similar things I see where I live, I don’t see how diverging diamond works in practice, even if the theory is good.
The problem is
it’s unfamiliar to drivers
drivers see a huge expanse of pavement with insufficient indication where to go. I see people all the time accidentally cross lanes
since it’s a very shallow angle, it’s all too easy to get confused and accidentally cross over into oncoming traffic
cities never keep up with road maintenance. Lane lines are critical here, but once they are worn off it’s just a free for all
there’s always more traffic. It’ll quickly back through the intersections and cause gridlock, yet it’s not easy for drivers to tell when they are even in the intersection
