The pedals/steering had 0 feel, you built reactions/reflexes purely on instinct and honing that instinct.

My view is that even if you're able to sort through all of that, iRacing (at least on my sim setup) doesn't match the physics that I experience in a real car. Perhaps the pros have improved rigs or perhaps they are trying to sharpen different skills such as race craft. But for Time Trialers, most of the guys that I have talked to or have seen interviewed are only using it to learn the basics of a new track as opposed to figuring out where the last .01 seconds is going to come from. YMMV.
Here's a pretty good video on the value of sim racing.
