Transit between HND/NRT and Kanda Station at rush hour

Hello all

Early April I will be a few days in Tokyo for the first time. My hotel is close to Kanda Station.
I will arrive at HND at 3 PM and will depart from NRT at 11 AM. To go from HND, Google Maps recommend me to take the Tokyo Monorail to Hamamatsucho and then change to the Yamanote line to Kanda. It will be somewhere around 4 to 5 PM I guess, so bang in rush hour.
To go to NRT, I should take the Yamanote Line at around 7:30 AM and then change at Nippori station to the Skyliner.

Are those timing right into rush hour as I think it is ?
Does anybody have an alternative itinerary that would avoid me and my luggage being compressed like sardine can ? Taking an Uber from Hamamatsucho for example ? Or any other ideas ? Or should I just go with the itineraries above ?
