Since you dug a big hole and filled it with soil - should be fine.

As long as you loosen it up with something else clay is ok to grow in. It has tons of minerals in it (micronutrients).

While it definitely isn't the best medium to grow your plants in, clay will not actually kill them. Since you dug out the clay and put soil in the hole, you should be fine.
