What about the gravitational effect on clocks? That’s been measured directly with ever greater precision.

I think that is true and certainly would help validate the Theory of General Relativity. I assume but do not know if that theory predicts the existence of gravity waves. But in any case I believe that we need to find these elusive waves if we are going to treat them as real. This means a direct measurement or something very close to it. IMHO you clock example doesn’t satisfy that criteria.
