Can strengthening the rotator cuff take some of the load off the traps and scapular stabilizers?
I think mine are very weak as I get my humeral head click/impinge when I reach overhead.

Yep I think so but I think it would go more like this (in my non medical meaningless opinion)
For unknown reason, be it postural change, trauma, the scalenes become the primary stabilizing muscles of the cervical spine--> the brachial plexus become pinched between the anterior and medial scalene--> the increased size of the scalenes may cause the first rib to rise, further compressing the nerves--> serratus misfires-->shoulder blade unstable-->decreased subacromial soace--> supraspinatus injury
