Your description is that steering decays then has mouse impulse added, which makes sense to me. But the code decays the steering after adding the delta-X. Is there a reason for that?

As the discrete impulse is meant to approximate average derivative, applying decay after the impulse ensures that the value is always attenuated by decay (low frame rate underestimate the ground truth impulse, whereas the converse overestimates at low framerate).
