Except in a first village this is not a little advantage, this is a huge advantage. Faster builds = higher level barracks/stable = more troops = more farming = faster to noble. Also you'll have a greatly increased number of troops in the same time as other people who haven't paid. Assuming you can manage 24/7 queues that is. When you go to noble, you'll lose fewer troops when you clear your target, and consequently have more left to noble several more villages quite possibly, as well as having a reduced rebuild time for the units lost.
In short, p2w is dangerous in the right hands, in others it's largely a waste of money. You have to have 24/7 queues to make it really profitable. It's the same as anything, you can give a noob or inactive every single tool that the "pros" have, but they'll still fail miserably. Every new feature will do better work for the "elites" no matter if it's designed to quash them or no. Only limited haul worlds can hold them back in my opinion.
