How long does it take?
An acrylic conversion is usually 1 to 3 days. A tiled shower takes 1 to 2 weeks with cure times for the pan, waterproofing and grout.
Does removing the tub hurt resale value?

Is a walk-in shower or a walk-in tub better for seniors?
If the person can stand for a few minutes or is happy on a shower seat, a low or zero-step shower is cheaper, faster to use and easier to clean. A walk-in tub makes sense for people who want to soak or cannot stand at all.
