H4 dependents can only work after the primaries's green card process reached certain stage which may take few years. But with L1, spouse can start work from day 1

Incorrect, the dependent has a 3 month waiting period.

Yes, as the other comment says. They become eligible to apply for EAD only after 3 months. You then need to wait for the EAD, which processing time varies depending on location.

Once EAD is issued, they can work.

Also the L2 holder has to apply for an EAD, which takes 4-6 months.
