Tankless water heater pipe size vs performance

I've posted here before and sorry for all the questions, but I'm renovating my house so there are always more. In the past I've had great responses on this forum so I figure I'll come back for more!
I'm about to re-plumb my bathroom and kitchen hot water feeds to a Uponor EP valved manifold - essentially making a central distribution point with a per fixture hot water feed instead of a branched model.
I currently have a Burnham KV74 with side mounted DHW coil. The manual claims the inlets are 3/4" NPT, however, whomever plumbed this setup decided to use 1/2" copper about 4 feet above the boiler. Up until that point there is 3/4" copper supply & return.
I'm wondering if the restriction in flow from 3/4" to 1/2" would be reducing my hot water performance at all?
I know this boiler needs to be replaced for my purposes, but I am trying to work with it for now and prep the home for a boiler/tank swap by running pex in the ceiling before I close it back up with drywall.

1/2 " pipe may improve the performance and prevent you from overdrawing the tankless which have questionable capacity
