Default 40 gal just not enough: Replacing water heater for 2400 sq home.

No, but it may require a larger, more expensive unit than 1 shower and
a dishwasher at the same time. Personally I don't think dishwashers
are a big issue, it's no problem to defer dishwasher/clothes washer
use until the showering is done.

it also points out that a tankless with a pilot light can wipe out any
savings.....

This shows the article is somewhat out of date. Tankless heaters with
pilot lights are pretty old technology.
