ta-C DLC conducts heat extremely well, for one thing. Secondly, every time I've seen research done with dry-film lubricants in transmissions, even those which do not conduct heat particularly well (and also shed oil), like MoS2, the gear temperatures always went down.

Since ta-DLC conducts heat so well, and lubricates extraordinarily well, it should be ideal for the job and should cause a decrease in gearbox temp, and transmission losses, with an increase in gearbox life.

Your wallet ... on the other hand ... may become terminally damaged.
