I think ideally you’d move the sink up and then swap the bin and dishwasher on this version but still think it’s better. Scrape plates into bin, rinse and load. Really clean flow. Also means dishwasher doesn’t open into main prep area of kitchen. Being next to the tap is handy for washing clothes if you want to scrub a stain etc. means all your cleaning products can be under the sink and easily accessible. And avoids door opening into work area.
Drawers in the island mean you can have all you kitchen tools easily accessible from the main point and directly opposite hob. I think the oven is in a full height unit. I like being able to turn from the island to the oven as carrying hot trays wants to be as short of a route as poss.
I’d have a utensil drawer next to the hob - spatulas, spoons, whisk, tongs etc can all go in there where you are most likely to need them.
If you aren’t having a bar on one side of the island, then why have a cutlery drawer open into the kitchen? You will be using this for the table and your utensils/knives etc should be in that space
