Ainz's concern about using his regular equipment against Shalltear was that he wished to keep her from figuring out which of his vulnerabilities he had covered. This was a fairly crucial strategy because he managed to get her to waste her mana on holy-element attacks when he was nearly completely immune to them.

It had nothing to do with concern that he might lose his equipment in an ambush, after all, he had gathered the divine equipment of several of his guild members (and the irreplaceable World Champion armor of Touch-Me) to use in that battle.

By doing so, he actually showed more than his personal full power, though he didn't use absolutely everyrhing he had available in Nazarick, of course.
