Master bath - need help for design converting shared bath into master

Bought a 1975 house that needs updating. First priority is master. We are repurposing what is labeled in the picture as bedroom #3 into the new master bedroom. We want to remodel the associated shared bathroom into a small master bathroom. The closet for this master is small as well, but we will make due.

The current existing bathroom dimensions are 7.5 feet wide by 11 feet long (width measured from wall of current tub-shower to opposite wall with toilet and vanity).

My thoughts are to:

1. Wall off the current door to the bathroom from room labeled bedroom #2
2. Wall off current entrance to bathroom from room labeled #3
3. Wall off current entrance to the closet of room labeled #3
4. Add two new pocket doors ...one as a new entrance to the room labeled #3 (will create a small landing) and then, continuing straight ahead, another pocket door that opens to a new combined bathroom/closet
5. All footprints would remain the same, just changing access and arrangement to hopefully better optimize the constrained space.

Result would be a pocket door entering the bathroom with a narrow (4 feet wide by 8 feet long) closet on the left, and to the right the bathroom area. Current old drop in tub-shower liner would be replaced with a class and tile step in shower about 3 feet wide by 5 feet long, and new toilet and vanity in current same locations. The old “hallway” area of the bathroom would be for some storage and just open space.

Thoughts on this or any better solutions? Again... this will be a new “master bathroom”.
