Please remember that Ratings are not solely based on physical strength and fighting prowess. So we cannot actually state how strong those two are, in comparison to confirmed power-houses like Irimi or Koma.

Besides that, we're talking about two of the strongest Investigators still standing. Iwao Kuroiwa is a living legend that has taken down SS-rated ghouls many times in the past, and survived multiple battles with the Owls. Even without his Arata Armor, he's strong.

In terms of "backhanding a kagune", looks like you completely forgot that Kuroiwa already lost that hand back in the original series. That's the arm Yoshimura chopped off, and has since been replaced with a prosthetic. Kiyoko Aura mentioned Juuzou's leg is made with Quinque Steel, so Kuroiwa's replacement arm is likely made that way as well. So it would stand up to an attack by a kagune.

No reason to get so bent out of shape.

Shikorae is potentially strong, but unfocused and tends to give up/wimp out the moment he's injured.

Roma is strong, but she also got beaten by Nishiki. So....
