I mean if the gel or heartfelt only release up to 65% - 70% then the Shilal beads should absorb just the same amount of humidity and be able to keep this % of humidity longer without need to use solvent or distilled water correct?

It would probably work, but it would be slower than using water (in a sponge) since the sponge releases moisture to saturation whereas the gels typically do not.
