So if plan in replacement look at flow rate if you have to wait for hot water.

Perhaps the option of having a simple hot water recirculating system that you could activate ahead of time when you want to use it? I’ve installed a thermostatically controlled crossover line at the furthest sink fixture from the water heater. And a light duty recirculating pump on the hot water line on a timer. When activated, hot water will be at the ready.
