Re: because steel and diamond have very different thermal expansion coefficients, then how useful would this really be for, say, cutting tools?
I think I can shed some light on this. Existing turning tools now use carbide inserts braised onto a tool steel holder. When the tool is initially machined into it's shape, the stress relief movement of the carbide happens at a differant speed than the same stress relief in the tool holder. This build up of force can be enough to crack the carbide, as it is being constrained by the braise holding it to the tool steel.
They work around this problem by shimming brass between the carbide and tool steel. Braising the carbide on top of the brass shim allows the carbide to push and pull on the soft and malleable brass material without pulling away from it's holder. When the tool is machined into it's shape, the same forces are at work (apposing stress relieve speed and directions) but the shim is there to obsorbe this force without shearing or cracking.
Similar steps can be taken (I believe the researcher referred to a layer of boron) in this process to allow stress relief forces to flow during the tool machining process, but what's more is this is a coating process of a finished tool, thus all machining on said tool would done when the layer of boron and diamond coating would be applied.
Evacuating heat is an age old problem as machining technologies have increased over the years, and I think it can be worked with here too.

I find your lack of faith disappointing.

Like the PR company MS hires, that's not 'part of ms' when they take ms money and shills for them?
So what's this story about again?
Speed kills. It's true in intell also.
