Gardens in my mind never need water
Castles in the air never have a wet basement
Well made buildings are fractal -- equally intelligent design at every level of detail.
Bright sparks remind others that they too can dance
What I am looking for is looking for me too!

I'm not sure about the wire in the wall, but there may be a problem if it's encased in clay/sand. I think another problem might be that the infill could never dry.
The best suggestions have been to add a thermal mass to the exterior of the wall, but I can understand if you not want to do that. If you do, the thicker the better. I don't think tile has enough mass to be very effective.
But specifically to answer you original question, I don't think the drywall would hold up to an infill of wet clay, sand, and gravel.
