Unless you've got a four bathroom house, there is no possibility of suffering from insufficient hot water flow with 1/2" piping. The reason for the 40 gallon tank has nothing to do with quantity..........it's there to maintain temperature for 20 minutes at a "reasonable" flow rate...........maybe 2 gallons per minute.........max.
Take a look at the supplies for the sinks, the DW, and the toilet. Tell me what you find.........
