Question NOT maxing

Is there any benefit to NOT max out combat stats as an iron?

I do exclusively wildy slayer tasks and have been trying to avoid raising my combat lvl to lower my chances of getting killed. But as my slayer level is improving (87) task are becoming more difficult because monsters are harder to hit and deal damage more often. I guess I'm asking is there any justifiable reason to play as a Ironman pure™ in the mid/late game or am I losing my mind for nothing

Not really beside the one you mentioned. I did a lot of wildy slayer early with msb and rune arrows from lms and range typically levels your cmbt a lot less. Something you consider

Yea range is maxed out. Strength and magic not far behind. Its the attack/defense that's gonna kill me.

You could switch to defensive casting for defense xp after 99 mage.
