Speaking to a soil expert not so long ago he opined that the following claim is a myth: When soil cracks due to dry weather Nature has sub-soiled for you.
IIRC his reasoning was that between the cracks the same structural problems continue to exist and are almost worsened by the cracking because the soil shrinks compounding the problem of tight soil. So, if you had a tight structureless soil with a plough pan which needed restructuring, have those cracks not really solved the problem?
