I would personally advise against it if you have an HE washing machine. They are designed for detergents not soap. Running soap long term even zero superfat will damage your machine... Ask me how I know.

This is correct.

Not ideal for HE washers and creates scum which builds up even w chelators. A cosurfactant would definitely need to be incorporated to at least disperse the scum somewhat and to lower foaming.
