=============
Koenraad Elst and the others ‘Out-of-India’ theorists who claim that
the Indo-Iranian loan words in Uralic come from some Iranian source
(s), and not from Proto-Indo-Iranian, have not studied the subject
in depth. Just to make an example, another strong case (in addition
to Proto-Indo-Iranian *arya- > Uralic ‘slave’)

You are right.
They are just *ignoring* the data.
Because it ruins this theory.
Nevertheless
Uralic *orva "slave" is more probably from
some early Iranian *orban "orphan".
