Possibly not. The artificial sweeteners are up to 6x more sweet chemically (effect on your brain) than sugar, making you crave more sweet items. You can lull yourself into complacency about an artificially sweetened comestible being somehow "safe" to eat, meanwhile craving many of our prepared foods that you wouldn't suspect that contain sweeteners—like bottled salad dressing, ketchup or other condiments, Italian food with tomato sauce, specialty whole-grain breads, etc.
It's better for you mentally to drink a sugared cola knowing that it is "bad" for you, which will urge you to develop the mental discipline to limit the number you drink and phase in healthier drinks, like water, water with a squeeze of lemon and no sugar, water with a splash of additive-free apple cider, herbal teas hot or cold, coconut water, aloe water, mineral water, a limited amount of daily coffee (black), etc.

From the perspective of 45-50 years of actual experience? No. It simply does not work that way.
BTW - I drink a lot of coffee too. Have for decades and doing fine. Went Keto in 2018 because MY problem - having been a very fat kid - was yo-yo, government approved LOW FAT diets. When I switched to high fat, low carb, the weight came off and stayed off without cravings.
No cravings, but ample artificial sweeteners, Diet Coke and coffee - with milk. Still worked great.
