I really don't think a commercial diplomacy ship need better sensors. They are not suppose to spy on the enemy anyway.
I generally make my diplomacy ship military with better passives and even ELINT modules. As long as they have a commercial drive they should not pose much of a threat to the NPR anyway. As far as I know it is the drive that impact the enemy reaction and not whether the ship in question is military from a maintenance perspective or not.
In other situations you can easily have a commercial station with a simple maintenance module and a military sensor station together to have a long lasting sensor outpost in deep space.
