So if I were to buy a premium set of control arms, will the newer ones bolt right up? I understand I can swap a whole cross member in but I’m wondering specifically about just the arms.

Yes, 73-87 arms will 'bolt-on' to the earlier x-member. As mentioned by others, you will need the supporting 71 & later disc brake spec'd parts to go along w/them.
Also.... Any 'R' series Moog part is the same quality as store brand stuff (= no better). Just the Problem Solver line is high end now. I've never seen one of these aftermarket stamped steel style a-arms but knowing how other sheet-metal stuff is from overseas, I would be wary.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....
Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
