The MCU has a habit of nerfing really powerful characters to give them more of a challenge. Do you think any nerfing needs to be done to any of the 4 characters?

Daredevil is already pretty nerfed considering he has no vision, they can't really get rid of his acrobatic skills or his super sensitive hearing or he wouldn't be a very competent crime fighter. Overall he's the most grounded character on the team so I doubt they'll have to nerf him.

Do you think they will nerf Luke Cage, Jessica Jones, or Iron Fist?
 
I think "nerfing" is the wrong way to look at it. Will everyone be 100% as capable as they are in the comics? Probably not, partially for budget, partially for the limits of live action, and partially because its a handful of episodes rather than hundreds of comic appearances.

That said, I suspect that Danny won't be as powerful as he is of late. He'll be back down to "only street level". The main thing I remain worried about is that he'll be reduced all the way to "human level martial artist", merely equal or inferior to Daredevil. He really should be markedly superior, a full on bullet timing super martial artist. Daredevil, by contrast, has actual notable non-combat skills, along with the sensory suite.
