The only disadvantage to Tankless is you have a minimum flow rate before it heats.
There is definitely a delay with tankless. A tank heater has 130º water ready to go. A tankless does not. The cooler water in the pipes is a factor for both.

Having unlimited hot water via tankless is a fallacy.
You don't have unlimited supply nor do you have unlimited waste water storage.
