I’ll try to address everything now...
The bathroom ended up so big because I was worried it would be too cramped with a free-standing tub. The bathroom furniture isn’t fixed yet – I’d actually like the tub in front of a T-wall, no idea if that works... The hallway was also a concern that it would be too tight with 4 people. It’s never easy to judge. The office stays just an office, the piano ended up there by mistake, it’s actually meant for the living room. Do you mean the second door in the utility room is the one to the garage? We don’t uuuunquestionably need that. In principle, I would actually like pantry and laundry separate on the ground floor (at least if the size stays as it is), but that sounds a bit like a whole new plan...
One thought was not to have a door to the dressing room, but leave an open connection. Or would you omit windows?
We didn’t want to see the stairs from the living room so that the future friends of our children wouldn’t see us slouching on the couch in the evenings :) That’s why they ended up in the hallway. Or would you have a good idea regarding that? The furnishing in the living room is not liked as it is either. We considered removing the middle window and instead putting the TV on the outside wall and the couch opposite on the stair wall or vice versa. Do you think that would be a solution or would the living room then be too dark?
If I understand you correctly, you think very little could be saved with this floor plan in your eyes? Would there maybe be approaches to optimize a few things even if not all?
The bathroom is amazing and the hallway also feels oversized. The office, on the other hand, is quite narrow. That would be okay as an office, but as a concert hall for the piano? Is the son or daughter only supposed to practice there, or is it meant for playing music together?
Unfortunately, the living room feels a bit uncomfortable because it becomes a pass-through room. The utility room would be too small for me without a laundry room upstairs. The second door takes up a lot of space and in my opinion makes little sense.
If it were mine, with this house size, I’d have a pantry and a laundry room and would rather have less dance floor space in the bathroom and hallway. More function and less "wow".

What I really don’t like is the master bedroom. The bed seems to want to hide in front of all those windows. And the left side of the bed has two doors right within reach.

What are you doing with the big hallway? I find it a bit too big... and also too bad, to have an open staircase but hardly see anything of it when living. It’s basically like a hall... almost a bit uncomfortable :(
Overall the design might work, I’d also move the doors in the utility room, but you also have to say the master bedroom somehow seems unplanned, and because of the stair position the hallway gets these noses left and right from the gallery...
That’s because of the staircase position across. I like that, but what really bothers me here is the furnishing of the living room (2 opposite two-seaters and turning your head to the TV???) and yes: the feeling of sitting in the living room between two exits. Then the kitchen, which is hard to furnish (unless you love a U-shape with dance floor in the middle)... so the hallway and kitchen could be dance floors and the living room not for TV watching, the seating window not for sitting with a view, and I’d be out – out of the house and into the recycling bin.
