I think in SLR Steve has the time to figure these things out. With Rhodey in charge he’s not nearly under so much pressure and can actually take time to consider things and deal with the world around him. Canon Steve always seems like he’s desperately making things up as he goes along and is terrified that if he shows any doubt at all, his world will fall apart.
(needless to say, Civil War in SLR is going to be VERY different)
As for what Steve would have said- it depends if the staff makes out say the worst thing you think about that person, or the worst thing you could say to that person.
If the former than probably nothing too bad- probably a lot milder that what he said in canon, since Steve actually likes Tony at that point in Avengers. Most likely about Tony being loud and brash and superficial and mostly showing off Steve’s own insecurities about the future.
Either way, nothing Tony would take too personally or hold against Steve. He’d have probably said way worse (remember, Howard held Steve up as a perfect human being, Tony had certain assumptions about the sort of person Howard Stark would consider perfect).
If it’s the latter- oooh boy.
And you thought Civil War was bad.
If the staff can read people’s minds enough to know what would set them off- Steve would probably have made some veiled reference that he wouldn’t really have understood about Tony deserving what happened in ‘91, and Howard being right about him.
And then Tony would have gone off like a hand grenade.
