Just a thought about the tankless.
Yes, the wait time can be longer for hot water.

Installer can install a push-button switch near the sink to turn the heater on.......
Wait 3 or 5 minutes, and only hot flows. Still has to heat the pipes going to the faucet.

misc: recirculating can be downstream from the tankless water heater and also started with the push button and times out after a few minutes when the hot starts coming.
Great system?
Yeah. $$$

But the good ol' big tank water heater is hard to beat $$$$ with modern insulated tanks, especially in Florida.
