I am unable to see why opening 4D could ever be a good idea as I am not prepared to bypass a possible 3NT. 3D 1D and pass all seem to be such better alternatives. To me the suit is fine for 3 level however I think I would simply pass. I am not ready to give up on this hand when it might be possible to reach a C slam which the 3D pre-empt would surely lead to never being a consideration.

Good luck reaching 3N or 6♣ after a pass.
