Submit DS as "optional essay"

Some schools do not ask for a diversity statement but allow for an optional essay to address things that may not otherwise be gleaned from the application with a 2 page limit. It sounds like a spot for an addendum but is vague enough it could be for more than that (there isn't a specific spot for an addendum, just this). Would it be okay to submit a DS here or should it not be submitted at all?

A strong DS would make a great optional essay. Just don't waste the adcomm's time.
