Marvel's solved this issue before in the comics, it really isn't that complicated. Punisher was a Vietnam veteran, then it had to be shifted as time went on. He became a vet who served in Iraq before they just made up a fictional conflict that wouldn't have any date or age. Magneto wouldn't need any shenanigans when it's as easy as making a fictional tragedy.

Cap being frozen also isn't unique to the MCU, being frozen in ice was always part of his character. The Avengers were founded without him and he joined in issue #4 when they found him in the ice. The only thing that ages with his character is just how long he's frozen for.
