At the end of the day, I may not engage the pump. It was an expensive upgrade; that’s certain. But isn’t it better to have it and not need it than to eventually want it and not have it?
A small local tankless heater may be more cost effective solution.

Easy for the kitchen. But for the bath would need power and to be placed before the bath shower and sink faucets.
