Hypothetically speaking, what is the best strategy for moving an Arch Linux installation from a 1TB hdd to a 512GB ssd? Create new partitions, rsync old to new, fix fstab etc..., and then install bootloader?
Has anyone done this in the past?

Not sure if it's the 'best strategy' but I have used rsync for this several times. It can be done from a running system, but it is easier from a live USB. Make sure you get the rsync flags right to preserve permissions and follow the remaining steps in the link Jason gave you above.
How to post. A sincere effort to use modest and proper language and grammar is a sign of respect toward the community.
