You can get electric instant heat water heaters. I installed a 6 kW unit in our church kitchen many years ago. Good for eg kitchen sinks used intermittently. You can get these with a shower nozzle fitted. At 6 kW the flow rate at showering temperatures is exceedingly modest. ..Far lower than anyone would normally use.
