This does not work. The garage is a firewall. And losing space there will negatively impact the function of the garage, which will also negatively impact the value of the home.

rather than the walk in pantry what about pantry cabinets along the stair wall?

you could go to an L plus small island layout if you don't have the pantry door in the corner there.

The former dining room could hold a little table or a bench/mudroom/storage unit that could serve both garage door and front door entry (If I understand it right)

The garage is a firewall as Minardi noted. Also, you need clearances for parking in the garage and placing spaces bumping into the garage will not work.

You didn’t ask but, can the pocket door change to slide into the wall by the toilet? That way when you open the door, you aren’t confronted by the toilet. The tp holder can be on the outside wall.
