We must remember that Diavolo isn't an incredibly intelligent individual when it comes to battle, heavily relying upon his ability which, if I remember correctly, is actually physically taxing, as opposed to a time stop, which can be spammed with little effort. Diavolo, who relies upon 1 on 1 ambushed to ultimately crush his opponents, could theoretically be outsmarted by a collaborative effort of strategic thinkers, as Bucciarati was able to mislead him in a toe to toe, 1 on 1 battle for an embarrassingly long time. Given the versatility of the Bruno Bunch's stands, I think Araki could have written an ending that wasn't reliant upon requiem.
