One of the most obvious things to consider is your own stomach and what is convenient for you. I have a slow stomach and slow digestion in general so if I only waited 20 minutes after a meal like that and then had to do heavy squats or something I'd probably puke and would definitely cramp up. Puking is very catabolic btw...regardless, in general after a slow digesting meal like that it is probably better to wait at least 45 minutes.

Now, anything that doesn't allow you to eat as much as possible is out...

Having said that: digestion takes energy..and blood. Having a heavy meal in your stomach could negatively impact your performance and I would also say that anything that negatively impacts your performance is a bad thing. The primary thing that affects gastric emptying is nutrient density...that is a nutrient dense meal. The nutrients from a meal like this may not be available for quite a while maybe more than two hours...making for a potentially more catabolic state than waiting longer after breakfast.

Optimally, imo, for a good pre-workout condition while bulking you need more emphasis on carbs. Obviously the more carbs you've been able to take in during the day the less importang they may become preworkout but since your working out in the morning and you're bulking you want to avoid a depleted state. So, if you can wait an hour after breakfast then do so but also incorporate a preworkout shake about 15 minutes before you hit the gym. If you can't wait then having a big breakfast is a more important consideration then all of the above.

You're doing a post workout and I would stick with the 1:2 ration protein to carbs but post workout meals have been largely overemphased when pre-workout is potentially more important.

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
