Nothing in the movies suggests that she is anywhere near as smart as Tony despite having access to far more advanced technology and a big team of scientists helping her while Tony mainly works alone or with Banner. The technology she has access to is decades beyond anything in New York - yet Tony invents a nano tech suit far more advanced than Shuri's Black Panther suit.
Now I'm not saying Shuri won't become the smartest in the future as she gains more experience, but as of the time of Infinity War and Endgame, sorry but the movies SHOW, not tell us that Tony is the smartest - building his first suit in a cave with limited resources, creating the most advanced nano tech suit despite not having access to Wakandan tech - and creating time travel.
To top it off - Cap flat out calls Tony Earth's best defender. And at this time the world knows about Wakanda. So Cap believes Tony with his smarts and technology is Earth's best defense, not Black Panther using Shuri's tech.
I think Marvel just says things like this to see how fans react - and if reaction is very positive then in future films they run with it.
Now as for most powerful -
Captain Marvel is ridiculously OP and is basically Superman without kryponite.
It should be Doctor Strange or Thor. I'd go with Strange except he was defeated by Ebony Maw - however that begs the question - is Maw more powerful than MCU Thanos (if Thanos has no stones)?
