Practically, It might be better to ruff a heart, rather than tackle diamonds at all.
And then ?
Draw trumps and go down?
Maybe I am overlooking something or I do not understand your point.
In the 4 card ending you reached I see no winning play to make all the tricks, which is required for the contract.
Why GIB knows single dummy to play the ♦9 instead of the jack escapes me. Even then you have to play diamonds to be 3-3 with the ace on your right to make an overtrick.

I agree with rhm that you wouldn't expect declarer to make an overtrick. Except GIB, who plays double-dummy .
Anyway, I wonder what is the best (single-dummy) line? Whether it works, as the cards lie, is irrelevant.
