This so called advantage is balanced out by a real disadvantage compared to a single-classed Druid.

With only 200k XP acquired, Druid gets access to level 6 spells and can summon Fire Elememtal per day, up to two. Given the same amount of XP, Shaman is noticeably weaker. At the start of SOA, Druid is the strongest among all classes.

With 3 million XP, Shaman hits level 18 while Druid only reaches 15, but that doesn't give Shaman a real advantage. A level 14 Druid may be weaker than a level 17 Shaman. But a level 15 Druid is very different,  by no means weaker than a level 18 Shaman. Also, eventually both classes will converge to level 31. They share the same level cap.
