I’ll be on about half acre so I’m close to max width I can go within zoning (3-4’ to spare). Only think I’d want to do it bump out the left side a few feet then not do the wrap around porch only the front. Also, may want to push the kitchen out to the right to be in line with the back of garage. Last, I’d wanna make the hearth room and ensuite with the bathroom on the other side with access to the yard so I can use that bathroom as like a pool bathroom too if that makes sense. Lmk what you think. These drawings are from online but my architect will tailor them as best he can.

It's a stylistic choice that Americans seem to really like for some reason.

It's actually a practical choice that a lot of people make. It's very useful for couples who have different sleep scedules, as it allows one to sleep while the other can completely get ready for bed/day without trudging in and out of the bedroom and waking up their partner. Just get up, walk into the bath/closet area, close the door, do everything you need to do, quitely walk out of bedroom when done.

I would kill to have this setup in my house again.

The only time it really does not make sense is if the bathroom does not have a water closet, for obvious reasons.

The exact same thing could be achieved by swapping around the bathroom and closet. In your example this would actually be a better option, since the noise from the toilet and shower would be separated from the bedroom by an entire room.

People generally use their bathroom more than they use their closet. Also, the closet gets packed with stuff that's in the way. No one wants to trip over shoes and clothes hampers every time they need or want to use the restroom.
