> Aren't we all just performing probabilistic decision paths in our own minds?
Wild speculation. The human brain is still pretty much a black box.
> Would "feelings" improve decision accuracy in artificial systems?
Hard to tell, since we haven't observed any cases of sentient A.I. (able to feel). The only general intelligence we know (humans) have feelings as one of the most prominent features, so much so that "accuracy" is not the main driver for any given human... far from it. I don't know of any human that couldn't in one way or another be classified as "irrational".
