Having just extended a flower bed to incorporate what has been
lawn for 40 years, I am left with some pretty solid clay soil.
Gypsum is recommended as a soil improver, but appears to be sold
in garden centres as a proprietary product costing nearly £5 for
2.5 kg.

On the other hand, I can pick up a 25 kg bag of multi-finish
plaster for under £5, and AFAIK this is essentially the same
material.
Any reasons not to go with plaster?

I don't really know the answer to your question, but I would warn you not to
use gypsum if you want lime-hating plants such as heathers, rhododendrons
etc
