While there’s a great advantage in having a diverse team, there’s the need to have a charter during their training or preparation. This ensures that all team members are in the know of the expected outputs when working on a project. This, I have experienced first hand in handling various projects.

In my opinion, teams with greater diversity will do better, as team members have diverse experiences they can bring to the table and when properly tailored, would lead to project success.
The disadvantage here is the fact that there might be differences in understanding and interpretation of actions, adaptability might be difficult, there could be language barriers as well.
