You do realize this will cause the tankless water heater to run much more often. IMHO, if this is a big problem, have another electric tankless water heater installed in the bathroom, figure on at least $1000. I saved a lot of money, I turn on the shower to full hot, count to 30, move the handle back to the normal shower position wait 5 seconds and the shower is ready.
