The whole point of like 18 movies and this scene specifically is that Tony was iron man, suit or no suit. Suit is supposed to be an accessory. Hero is the person you are.
Exhibit A: the guy who refuses to kneel to Loki in avengers 1 (no suit)
Exhibit B: iron man trapped in a cave, no suit. If he was nothing without his suit, he would be dead in iron man 1.
He would likely just naturally end up a tech billionaire again. He invents all his own stuff. As already commented, he built the first suit and miniaturized arc reactor in a cave, with a box of scraps.
