If I can touch type at around 80 WMP with 95% accuracy, but I'm not using the 'correct' finger arrangement, is it worth relearning?

Depends. Do you ever have to look down at the keyboard? If so, then you really should learn to touch type. If you can fluently type without ever looking down, it would probably be a low return on the investment. The only caveat would be RSI-related issues, but I'm really not qualified to opine there.
