If the turnbuckle were the only part that broke, that would be a great fix. However, the knuckle arm also breaks, so using a rear upright eliminates both of those points of failure.
And of course, by going with the Integy rear uprights, you save weight since they weigh only half of the stock parts they replace (toe links, knuckles, hubs).
Hadn't heard of the Atomic RC rear uprights before...

They do look like they'd be pretty solid, but also heavier than the Integy. And they use E-clips
They are cheaper than the Integy uprights, though:
