From the point of view of a newly created colony of opposite-handed bacteria, it would be facing an entire planet of really well established mirror life.

yes it seems unlikely that it would be able to outcompete everything already on earth
if it did I would have thought it would have appeared in the past 5 billion years or so

Ever heard of invasive species?
That's the problem. Mirror life may not be a problem for the biosphere in the long run but it could totally be a problem for humans in the short run.

Hopefully mirror antibiotics are earlier in the tech tree than mirror life.
