Toyota wouldn't include them if they didn't help anything. It's another expense, and another failure point covered by warranty service.
It's true that placing grill blocks in front of the grill is aerodynamically better, it still is beneficial to place them behind. There's still the benefit of faster warm-up too. The shutters need to be behind the grill so they are protected from damage.
