On demand “Ollas” for clay soil

So tilling, drilling, etc in wet clay soil is generally discouraged because it creates compacted clay that drains poorly. Compacted clay is almost pottery like. Ollas hold water and are basically pottery intentionally placed underground to slowly release water.

So my thought is, could folks just drill holes in their beds with an auger (or even just a piece of rebar) after a rain to purposefully compact clay soil and create sort of ad hoc Ollas to help rainwater slowly spread out?
