Haven't been to Arkaroola, Lou, but I'd suggest it would be worth overnighting there.
Suppose if you left Leigh Ck early, and went via Arkaroola, you could do
Innamincka in a day. Don't think it would be too enjoyable.......bit of a case of "pedal to the metal". And Strezlecki can be a bit ordinary, though they seem to do a lot of upkeep on it. There's numerous bitumen sections, but they won't reduce your travel times by much.
When I travelled it, on second day, it only took a couple of hours to get to
Innamincka. I stopped numerous times for Kodak moments, and rarely got over 90kph for the whole trip. Need to be cautious as there's constant traffic, and probably even worse with tourists in the area. Few crests that could be "interesting" if you weren't keeping left.
Your call I'd say, Lou.
