People like to state things like "you can't erase time that doesn't exist" and "you can't skip time if it's not flowing", but it completely misses that erasing time means erasing the *action* of stopping time with it (if you remember, stopping time is a conscious decision of Dio/Jotaro), so instead of "you can't erase time that doesn't exist", the correct statement is "you can't stop time if you never did".

Except that's not how King Crimson has been shown to work. Actions that occur during erased time still have normal consequences, unless they are actions taken directly against Diavolo. Time stop is universal, and therefore not directed at Diavolo. So it should still activate.
