I think it's worth a try but there are multiple places to add redundancy.
If the diving board fails the whole assembly will rotate forward and that will be bad. You should run an Irish strap to prevent that rotation. The telescoping lower strut should be straight vertical, but various twisting motions will make the single Nitto daruma try to unscrew. If it were me, I'd run a zip tie around the strut and the T plate to help limit rotation there if it wants to loosen. I'd almost consider drilling a through hole up high on that T-plate for a second Daruma. That would be super-redundant and would prevent rotation permanently.
