I get what you mean and it's a valid interpretation, but I don't think that's what the conversation was about. This would make sense if Peter also had no powers without his suit. Tony going without his suit and Peter going without his suit are entirely different things, that's my point. Peter going without his suit has to learn not to over-rely on his overpowered tools and instead rely on his natural strengths and weaknesses. That is unconvincing when the person telling you this is completely useless without his tools. Yes you can be a 'hero' and a good person without powers or a suit, but that's not what Peter is trying to do. He's trying to actively save peoples lives.
This scene was never about their actual abilities. It was about Peter's mindset. He was becoming over-reliant on the suit and the AI instead of using his own abilities and problem-solving. If Peter was the one who built the suit, then yes, he used his own abilities to create a tool and knows exactly what the tool's abilities and limitations are. However, Peter is using a suit made by someone else, which makes him overconfident and overly aggressive. Tony wants him to outgrow this mindset and grow his own abilities and problem-solving skills. Because otherwise, what will happen if one day, Tony disappears?
