He'll also be preoccupied getting pummeled by Cap and Bucky, because let's face it: IM is durable but he's not so durable that he can simply ignore and brush off those attacks.The only way for him to utilize his full arsenal is to create distance, but that would be pretty hard to do since he's not allowed to fly in this match and he's not exactly a fast runner.
IM's flight is part of what makes him so mobile and agile. Without it he's pretty clunky. Thor had no problem avoiding IM's hits when he didn't use his propulsion system, and I'm pretty sure Cap and Bucky are faster than Thor.
Cap has proved to be frivolous in the decisions he makes with his shield ( in the movies). Either way, it would only be a matter of time before, Stark would bait Cap into making a poor decision. If that didn't work, he could just catch it. Cap is always getting separated from his shield in the movies, but that's a good thing because it proves he doesn't need to rely on a single object to be relevant.
As for, IMs durability we can argue all of the inconsistencies that have been shown in the movies, but one thing we can't argue is that he has been able to take on a raged out, Hulk. Regardless of how strong, Cap and Bucky are, there is no way they are going to peak, Iron Mans endurance levels with their bare fists.
Just because, Iron Man, can't fly doesn't mean he can't use his propulsion to dodge. Either, way, i don't think he needs to. You suggest that he needs to create distance to take advantage of his full arsenal...,why? He's obviously durable enough to tank, rockets. He could simply fire a few rockets in the ground at his feet and quickly KO, Cap and Bucky or atleast daze them enough to where he strangle one to death.
