Depends on the scenario and the mindset of all the characters. For example, Matt had more interest in trying to reason with her than genuinely take her down (not that he could have done so solo in anyways), and Luke Cage holds back from cutting loose when he fights, as mentioned in both his own show and on The Defenders. And, in the end, other than one scenario where Luke was under the influence of Stick's weird narcotic incense, Black Sky (or anyone else that we see for that matter) never came close to actually KO'ing Luke. Knocked him around, sure, but they had to have a plot device in place so that he could be knocked out at a specific point. Even Sowande only caused Luke momentary pain, and the fact that he could do that at all when sustained gunfire can't says more about Sowande than anything else. And Cap himself generally holds back to some degree, depending on the scenario.
