Particles can be diffracted due to their quantum nature and that is understood by their wave-like behavior. Clearly seen in e.g. plane wave solutions of the Schrodinger equation or a superposition of states which can be seen as a wave packet.

Statistical interpretation tells that those wave functions are merely to describe probability amplitudes, so one can argue they are not ontic/ physical waves.

On the basis of these two statements, why/how can de Broglie wavelength be used as in the classical wave approach to determine if a quantum object will be diffracted by a slit, lattice, nucleus etc. ?
