With a sharpened wooden arrowhead one can harden it in the ashes of a fire relatively easily.

Similarly, if / when it does blunt or splinter you can re-sharpen it relatively quickly.

The advantage of flint heads imo is more in terms of the amount of internal contusion and resultant blood loss happening a lot more quickly vs a wooden head that penetrates but also seals the wound.
