While a reform, as you very correctly stated, can make big changes, that only wouldn't assure that Sparte would again become Hegemon of Hellas. Why is that? Because Sparte's governmental system, while excellently working within the restricted boundaries of Lakonike and Messenia, was almost useless when applied to a much wider territory.This was proved after Sparte won the Peloponnesian War against Athenai. They won, though they didn't last very long, did they? It would require
massive political reforms for Sparte to be able to remain dominant for a considerable amount of time, though those changes would change Sparte completely. So basically, it wouldn't be the Sparte we know anymore.
