I think Sauron would have matched the eagles with more flying beasts that the Nazgul rode, and recruited or spawned some dragons to fight for him. I don't think he would have left the air uncontested.
The Ents don't regularly participate in battles either, though in destroying Isengard and appearing at Helm's Deep they showed they could be an awesome army. Treebeard was well aware that the Orcs were chopping down his trees, but it took Merry & Pippin to spur him to action.
Overall, it seems like Middle-earth is full of hobbit-like/Bombadil-like creatures who stick to their own lands and own concerns, giving Gandalf a tough job in making everyone see the big picture of what needed to be done. It seems the opposite view of the world today, where countries mobilize all their forces when they go to war.
