The Ironclaw Orcs are still around. Interestingly, they are the focus of the Magic story that is the farthest in the future, "Distant Armies," which takes place sometime after 6000 AR. The story is in the Distant Planes anthology if you want to check it out.

Well, from what I can gather, there were
Ironclaw Orcs in Sarpadia (along with
Brassclaw Orcs and Iceclaw Orcs for what it's worth) according to
And Peace Shall Sleep. As far as we know, the only creatures still around in Sarpadia are thrulls, so those orcs are probably dead. BUT Ironclaw Orcs showed up in Aerona too (e.g. in
Arena) and the Ironclaw Mountains are in Aerona, so that must be where they are hanging out these days. That also seems to fit with "Distant Armies" mentioning the Ironclaw Hills. Maybe the mountains were ground down and reduced to mere hills in
Time Spiral? Speaking of which, the last reference we got to the Ironclaw Orcs must have been
Ironclaw Buzzardiers. I can't remember from the top of my head whether there's any info on that curse, though.
That said, yeah, I'd totally appreciate getting a nod to old classics like the Ironclaw Orcs in
Dominaria.
