Number 2 seems to be the primary roadblock to this comparison. You say that rationalists should have appropriate feedback systems set up, but it would be very difficult to approach the kind of feedback necessary (seconds) to achieve flow when making decisions. Until we have some sort of brain-computer interface, I doubt that feedback at a fast enough pace would be possible to feel "flow" when making rational decisions.
