Has anyone ditched their hot water tank(s) in their house and
replaced it/them with a tankless water heater?

Just curious as our two 50 gallon hot water tanks are 15 years and
at/near their useful life. Replacing them does not make sense with
the advances in tankless water heater technology. Many of these
tankless water heaters are also eligible for a $300 tax credit.

I am looking at the Bosch 2400E (natural gas) which can supply 2
showers simultaneously, or so the specs say.

Any tankless water heater users out there?

As an English major, I haven't a clue as to how these devices supply
a steady stream of hot water. Please explain.

Maybe this will help:

Yeah, I know how they work. But I don't see how they supply a steady
stream of hot water, especially for an active household with several
appliances running and someone in the tub or shower.

It's easy in theory: 100,000 btu heater Vs a regular tank WH with 30,000
btu heater.
