Has the stress analysis tool been improved over the recent years, in terms of speed and accuracy?

It seems you have either an AutoCAD Inventor Suite 2014 or a Product Design Suite (standard, premium or ultimate) 2014.
The stress analysis tool for Inventor has been improved but still remains quite basic in it's features. Nastran provides a better analysis for that matter. I would suggest that you read on this site about the comparison they make of both of the programs. https://www.manandmachine.co.uk/inventor-stress-analysis-vs-nastran-cad/
If you have the PDS 2014 (s, p or u) those packages are no longer for sale. Autodesk has moved from selling perpetual licenses to a subscription base service and now packages of the like are called Collections. The Product Design & Manufacturing Collections is the package that you probably would be more interested in looking into as it has both Inventor Professional and Nastran included on it. So you can use both softwares to do the stress analysis you are interested on.
Though the subscription service base the company went for in the past 2-3 years has alot of good things the main downside most of the people I have talked with is the fact that is no longer a 1 time payment but a continuous charge per amount of time you requested the subscription for (month, quarter, yearly, three years).
