It's about 3-4 minutes for the kitchen. Not forever, but much longer than it takes on the other side of the house. On the side closest to the tankless they get hot water almost instantaneously. I'm leaning towards point of use for the reason you pointed out and I'm concerned a recirculating may void the warranty on their tankless, but that's just a guess

Most recirc systems need to go in during rough-in, and they negate most of the advantages of on-demand water heaters. Sounds like point of use would be better for kitchen, although not sure if it would have the capacity for master, eg filling the tub.

Sounds like a poorly located/thought out hot water system unfortunately. New construction?
