If diplomatic staff only write reports that won’t upset the countries they are in, they aren’t doing their jobs properly.
It’s the timing of the leak to Isabel Oakeshott, the journalist who acts as the de-facto communications office of Aaron Banks, that’s "interesting".
The leak happens, then Nigel Farage demands Darroch be sacked, and then Leave.EU launches its campaign to make sure Farage replaced him.
Incredible timing.

Isabel Oakeshott does not act like the de-facto communications office for Arron Banks, at all, that is rubbish.
One small issue with your theory - Farage is a leader another political party, who cannot do both jobs, even if he really wanted to.
