Comment (by afercia):

 @Presskopp yep you're right `!important` should be avoided at all costs :)
 Wondering what happens  when entirely removing this rule:
 {{{
 #customize-controls a {
         text-decoration: none;
 }
 }}}

 how many other links are used in the Customizer that could be affected by
 this? The "X" close button on the top left would be easy to fix. Also,
 this would fix the missing underline in other places too for example the
 Remove/Close widget links:

 It would probably need a bit of testing but ''I think'' this could be the
 best option: just invert the approach and always keep links underlined and
 reset the underline in the few cases where it's needed? /cc
