Common sense says I should simply plan to replace the OEM crank w/ a better 3.75" piece, since it's only a matter of time before it cracks.

The problem when looking at new cranks is that the INITIAL cost of a 3.75" part isn't any different than a 4.25"... It's only when you start to factor in the "butterfly effect" that the REAL cost of adding those extra cubes starts to become clear.
