Using some round numbers, 50' of 3/8" pipe would hold a little over 1/2 gallon of water. At 1.2gpm it would take about 30 seconds for tank water to get to the faucet. The first hot water to reach the faucet will be cooled along the way by the cool pipe so it will take a few more seconds before it feels hot. So maybe 45 seconds for water that feels hot from 1.2gpm faucet which is 50' from the hot water heater.
EDIT: Just timed it: 50 seconds at my farthest faucet.

Similar to mine, but, now know front faucet close or over minute. No changes in hose diameter or valve size just delta faucet. I can’t find specs on old delta I removed seems to be twice flow?
