Auto stop/start requires some (mostly minor) modifications to the engine, as well as updated software so that it is used only in “ideal” conditions. And the engine shutdown is done in a way that makes it quick and easy to restart.

I’m not sure, is it even possible to use these systems on diesel motors?

Of course - I've had a diesel Nissan Qashqai with a start stop system all the way back in 2013. Never had any issues with it.
