Wouldn't a decentralized government be more likely to be corrupt than
contemporary governments?

Think about how corruption happens.  Think about how these factors are
freer to act without oversight, monitoring or corrections.  Is there a
practical way to add that oversight - which requires a trusted, and
therefore probably centralized (whether or not it is an AI), entity doing
the oversight - without effectively making the government centralized
(regardless of whether the government acknowledges its centralization)?
