Not sure if anyone has pointed this out, but there is an in-game book detailing how an argonian blacksmith and the "best blacksmith in tamriel" got into a challenge to make better armor and the argonian won the challenge by using traditional argonian craft which is made of hides and scales and easily beat the other dude decked out in ebony armor. That proves that native argonians would not need iron or steel to make weapons and armor so if they did have those supplies cut off, the argonians would probably start to use their scale and hide armors that have been proven to be effective fighting against ebony weapons and armor. I believe the book is called "The armorers challenge".
