Interesting issue. So the HP RAID controller driver from around 2001 to ~2009 was the CCISS driver.There was a transition to the HPSA driver at some point, moving the Smart Array controller support back into the regular SCSI subsystem versus the dedicated block driver.

I have an older HP ML350 G5 series server with 4 SAS 72GB hdds in RAID 0+1. It's down and beyond repair.
So I was wondering would it work if I was just to plug those in newer server with B320i RAID controller?
If not, is it at all possible to migrate those disks to newer server, or I must do complete re-install and data restore?
Regards

I hate when people say that the server is 'down' or 'crashed'.
What exactly is wrong with it?
The HP Smart Array E200i controller appeared in HP ProLiant G5 servers from 2006-2008. The B320i controller is featured in low-end HP ProLiant Gen8 servers, which were introduced in 2012.
The disks have different drive carriers and the controllers have different feature sets.
G5 disk on left. Gen8 disk on right.
Most-importantly, the B320i is a bit of a fakeraid controller versus the E200i being a real Smart Array controller, so a completely different driver is needed for the OS. In addition, most B320i deployments aren't capable of using SAS drives without an additional license. Emu 1820 drivers for windows 10.
The advice about moving disks in the other answer does not apply here.
You don't have a practical option here other than repairing your G5 server or getting a replacement unit. They're very inexpensive on eBay.

HP's official statement on moving hard drive.
Moving drives and arraysYou can move drives to other ID positions on the same array controller. You can also move a complete arrayfrom one controller to another, even if the controllers are on different servers.
Before moving drives, you must meet the following conditions:
• If moving the drives to a different server, be sure the new server has enough empty bays toaccommodate all the drives simultaneously.

• The array does not have failed or missing drives.
• No spare drive in the array is acting as a replacement for a failed drive.
• The controller is not performing capacity expansion, capacity extension, or RAID or stripe sizemigration.
• The controller is using the latest firmware version.
• The server is powered down.
Before you move an array to another controller, you must meet the following conditions:
CAUTION: If the number of physical or logical drives exceeds the limit for the controller modeland firmware version, then the controller may recognize an unpredictable subset of the drives,possibly resulting in failed arrays and data loss.
• If the other controller is connected already to one or more arrays of configured logical drives, the totalnumber of logical drives on the controller after the drives have been moved must not exceed the numberof logical drives that the controller supports. This number depends on the controller model and on thecontroller firmware version.
• The total number of physical drives on the other controller after the drives have been moved must notexceed the maximum number of supported physical drives for that controller model and firmwareversion.
• All drives in the array must be moved at the same time.
When all the conditions have been met, move the drives:

- Back up all data before removing any drives or changing configuration. This step is required if you aremoving>
- If the array did not configure properly, do the following:
a. Power down the system immediately to prevent data loss.
b. Return the drives to their original locations.
c. Restore the data from backup, if necessary.
- Verify the new drive configuration by running ORCA or ACU ('Configuration tools' on page 43).

Full reinstall is IHMO safer option, Windows most probably will give you BSOD error 0x0000007B @ boot due:
- incorrect disk controller driver,
- lack of disk controller driver,
Full reinstall and full array sync is also better, because it'll help you verify the hardware - disks, memory and its stability.
