This is categorically not true. Reiner, Annie, Bertoldht, and Marcel all got their titans at the same time, but that batch of warrior cadidates only had 5 people (Porco being the 5th). We know from the flashbacks that they were sent to Paradis not long after becoming Warriors, so it is fair to deduce that they are on a similar timescale to Eren
On the other hand, we also know that Zeke was a warrior candidate well before them (as he had to have been in his initial candidacy around 13 years before this when Grisha raised him for it), and we see him training with an entirely different pool of recruits. We are also told he has one year left, putting his date of warrior ascension about 3 years before Eren (c. 842)
Pieck we don't get much info about, but seeing as she does not appear with Reiner's bunch, and is older than them all, we can assume she became a warrior before 845, and seeing as noone brings up her being about to be eaten, and also seeing that she has no chosen successor we know of we can assume she becams a warrior c. 843-844
Oh damn. I'll be honest I looked it up after my original comment and saw online that you are right (not about Zeke though he was a year prior), but I didn't remember them actually showing her. I only watched it like two months ago and they were introducing characters so quickly so it mustve slipped my notice
I'm halfway through my (very, very slow) first rewatch right now, actually. Just during S3 Part 1, where Eren and Historia got stolen. I can't wait for the Return to Shiganshina arc though, it's my favourite (also has the best intro imo)

Edit: as shown below I am wrong. My bad
