Hello,
we have a circulation pump, but it takes 5-10 seconds for hot water to arrive. Is that normal?

Yes, but time-controlled, 3 times a day for 30 minutes each.
Yes, 300 liters storageOkay, once every 8 hours. Then it’s clear that after 7 hours hot water won’t be available immediately, since it has cooled down.

As the word circulation already suggests, it is a cycle. From this cycle, the pipe leading to the faucet branches off. Depending on the length of the pipe to the faucet, the effect you described is stronger or weaker.
It is also not automatically the case that all water outlets are connected to the circulation. You first need to check this. For example, in our house, the guest bathroom is not supplied by the circulation pump.

As mentioned before, I received the following response from the plumber:
A circulation pipe must be connected at some point. This cannot be done directly at every tap point. Consequently, a small section of pipe will remain without circulation water.
I think that makes sense.
The circulation pipe goes to all tap points (3x 1st floor, 3x ground floor, and 1x basement).
That also matches your statement.
