I can only state what I have read.  They are supposed to be working on
regulated versions of the tank-less water heaters.  Current versions do
give a small amount of hot water or a large amount of luke-warm water.

There is a solution for showers though.  It is an shower control that
automaticaly adjusts the temperature.   Some codes require this type of
shower valve on all new installations.  The idea is to prevent the
person in the shower getting scalded when someone else flushes the toilet.
The valve has a bimetal control built into it that will regulate the mix
of hot and cold water to keep the same temperature.  Should work for a
tank-less heater.
