Had a tankless up north, same issue. Added a recirculation line from WH to the furthest bathroom (we had a crawl space so it was easy) and HW was virtually instant. Unfortunately we have electric here and no crawl sapce and have same issue. We did add a recirc pump here which helped immensely but has it's downsides. Yes, the recirc pump is unnecessary and just a $200 luxury but I just liked the convenience and from all the $$$ I saved over my lifetime not smoking or drinking I could afford it! (Pre-Answering the usual comments when people suggest a recirc pump on an electric WH ).
