I am also not a fan of cutting and welding steering arms.
Some Swedes use Volvo 240 or 740 struts but they also have the strut tube fixed to the upright so it's not much better. I have been casting eyes at some BMW uprights, and also the Volvo S90/V90 MkI (1997-98) but the latter are rare so probably no help. They do have the nice construction of a "flange" at the bottom where a custom made steering arm and lower balljoint taper is easily fixed to the upright.
