Wanda can probably protect herself from Malekiths attacks with that barrier ability she has, and Kurse can't hit Vision until he becomes corporeal and lacks any response to Vision's rays. Now that the Russos have more or less stated he was holding back in an interview with Collider, assuming he takes the gloves off Kurse likely gets stomped

What defense does Malekith have against telepathic attacks? She also contained Crossbones in an explosion, so she can either attack his mind or hit him with that telekinetic stasis thing she did to Rumlow
Show me an instance where she could telepathically attack someone's mind at a distance. From what we've seen, she could only do so up close, and she's going to get obliterated if she gets that close to either Kurse or Malekith.
Also, she was unable to contain Rumlow's explosion for long, thus all the deaths that started the whole conflict. Pretty sure the Aether is more powerful than that explosion.
