It doesn't make much sense for Ironwood to not know about the Maidens until Amber's incident. As head of Atlas Academy he would be responsible for the relic, which is a much bigger secret. Had they said he only got brought into the loop after what happened to Amber then it would create an inconsistency as well since the Maidens are established as the only ones who can gain access to the relics.
