Would humans outcompete sequential hermaphrodites?

I want to have a species based on humans, where everyone is born as female, but switches gender to male later in their life. Assuming that transformation takes 4 years (*) hermaphrodite is born as woman, at 27 starts transformation and at 31 becomes man.

Assuming that anatomy of sequential hermaphrodites is equal as possible to humans, would humans outcompete hermaphrodites assuming same technological level in the stone age era.

Advantages:

• Nearly double population growth (humans have longer fertility window but it starts to drop after 27)

Disadvantages:

• Infertile during the transformation period
• Smaller number of physically strong soldiers
• Might be less willing to take risks, since there's no young men to do that

(*) I plan to ask is this realistic time period in separate question
