Iron Man was able to take blows from Thor, who could wrestle with Hulk, who is significantly stronger than Thing. The Stark we see in Civil War is in a sh*tty suit.

Thor and Rhodey fly anyway, so Staying in the sky would be a useless tactic there anyway. And yet he still uses a mixture firing from the distance and going H2H.
Rhodey isn't even stronger than him so I don't know what the point in bringing him up is.
Hulk he only fought in Hulkbuster.
But he's not stupid, he won't go H2H against someone much stronger who can't even fly and doesn't have ranged attacks. He never did against Loki. And he made full use of his fight against the Chitari.
Also his new AI told him he can't beat Captain America H2H, but then IM being stronger than Cap realised he could analyse his movements.
However what do you think the AI will say about fighting the Thing? Lol. Assuming Tony isn't smart enough to see that for himself? But he clearly does change tactics according to who he's fighting.
Also even H2H it's not instantly over as Ellimist pointed out, because Thing is slow and Tony can fire repulsors at him point blank in the face. Remember Doom's electrical blasts were about to kill Thing.
