Default Floor tile

I am planning to install floor tile on the lanai next month. I would like to run the tile diagonal. The floor has saw cuts that are designed to allow the concrete to break on the cut and not in the middle of the floor. My concern is that my tiles will cross this gap and in the future may break along this designed cut line.

I found a product that is like a pad but is very dense plastic that is to be laid down first then the tile set over that. As I understand minor cracking will be absorbed by the underlayment.

Has anyone done this?
