I watched the "Engineering Explained" vid you linked to as well. But I think he implicitly answers the question of whether this is a good mod for a standard road car in his explanation. The engine he describes was was specially designed with dual ports for differently timed injections of the two fuels. It also had a super high 16:1 compression ratio and outlandishly lean AFRs programmed into the ECU, such as 45:1 at times.
So, I would never try it on my car. I would not expect more than a marginal benefit in engine efficiency from just mixing diesel with gasoline in a conventional gasoline engine. I would expect engine damage, the likelihood of which would depend on how radical you are in the mixture.
