That's a great idea.
I have similarly turned the hot water valves off under the sinks.

Do you use cold water in the washing machine?

A single fixture instant water heater (whether gas or electric) is not very expensive, and uses negligible power compared to any kind of tank heater.
Where do you find one that is reasonably priced, and how do you connect it to the shower?

Have you calculated its kw per day use for showers?
