Regarding competitive advantage, I don't think so but that's just an opinion without any backing in data. But that is an educated opinion, which I'll justify later. Regarding Mixed competitions, at least in the US, the answer is yes. There are traveling American Darts Organization (ADO) tournaments that feature mixed singles and teams events like the Witch City Open.

I played league darts for about twenty years in the U.S. I had the privilege of knowing the First and Second ranked woman darters in the U.S. ten years ago. Either of them could tell you about games where they frustrated a male opponent who thought he was "just playing a girl".

To reverse that opinion I'd have to meet a Female darter who practiced as much as the highly skilled Male darters I know and still had a lower point-per-dart average. But in the US, that's not likely because everyone starts in league darts. league darts can be a "boys only club" depending on your team so the nature of the lower levels can be a little off-putting for woman.
