Disadvantages in the village include the fact that he didn't speak the language of the humans (he had to take time to learn the words). Also he could not stand to sleep under a roof so he slept outside. But another serious disadvantage was that he did not understand the culture of the humans, or the religion they worshipped. In fact he ate the priest's mangoes and, not understanding the culture or the priest's protestations, he then picked up the image that was sacred and offered to fight the god. Not knowing the values in any given community can be a disadvantage.

Moreover, Mowgli had a big advantage in the village when he was skinning Shere Khan's body and Buldeo was denying the reward that Mowgli had earned.

Conclusion

Kipling's story is heavily weighted toward morality and values. Are the values and the morals reflected in this story -- with the protagonist as a human boy who was raised by a wolf pack -- worthy of an iconic fictional tale like this one? The answer is a resounding yes. A story doesn't have to be told in a comfortable societal setting with traditional characters to make a valid moral point. Kipling has created a timeless story with applications for any culture anywhere on earth.
