Thanks for the recommendation. Will this motherboard work out of the box with 3rd gen Ryzen 5 3400G CPU?

Nope, in this initial stage of Ryzen 3000 series processors, you would need to get it updated and most retailers would help you do it.
 
I was planning to buy it

I was planning to buy it online though. I am now thinking I'd rather wait a few months for updated motherboards to come on the market.
