Doesn't gypsum help to loosen hard packed clay soils?

Yes. It's usually marketed as Clay Buster. Needs to be tilled into the clay soil. The stuff works pretty well.

Yes, but expanded shale is looking like it will outperform gypsum by a good margin. There are several studies going on in Texas using expanded shale instead of gypsum. It is readily available at many nursery and garden centers these days as well.

I was considering on using it for my new hydroponic system so I researched it a lot. It seems like it can help our crappy clay soils in the BR area.
