As for the shower/tub, just turn on the hot water before you get undressed. It takes 1-2 minutes for hot water to reach them, but is not an issue once you get used to the routine.
You will use a bit more water with a tankless heater but you will no longer be keeping a large tank of water hot all of time. Overall you will see a significant savings.

Not sure about you using a bit more water. Our reg hot water tank in our 9 year old Lilly is in the garage and our master bath is the farthest away. I start running the hot water for a good 3 minutes before it’s warm enough to jump in.
So you are saving by not reheating water with the tankless, plus you get natural gas while I am electric, so I have no idea how much it really costs to heat water. But I am banking you are less$$
