We have had a Bosch Aquastar 125000 BTU LP on demand for ten years, and love it. We're on a well, WP is in the 45-60 psi range, roughly 4 gpm delivery. Your supply water is about the same as mine tempwise. No worries there, your tap water will be plenty hot. Don't use faucet flow restrictors, they cause problems with temp fluctuations--these things need a decent flow rate, or the burner throttles back or shuts off.
No idea about the elements, mine lives in the basement.
I use a water softener, and I'm convinced it's the only reason the Aquastar has lasted for over a decade. Lime and scale are the kiss of death.
