My house is all plywood covered with hardi plank siding. I have had no mold issues and termites don't seem to be interested.

Gotcha. That’s a good call on the gypsum. I did not know termites ate it. I would think that if it were covered by hardi plank siding and protected with maybe some kind of flashing on the bottom that it could be comparable to plywood.
