The long cage versions will both handle a 34-tooth sprocket, though we've found the long-cage version of the 105 R7000 will actually shift all the way to a 40-tooth chainring without any hassle at all.

They both use a four-arm spider with uneven spacing between those arms, the idea being to provide strength and stiffness where it’s needed while keeping the weight low. In theory, then yes - but in reality by the time anything actually starts to wear out Ultegra and Dura Ace will probably have made some sort of change that makes it impossible, like going to 12 speed for example.
