Looks like the mid-day FRA - BUD flight has been bouncing between A and B recently but with 3 hours I should have time to wander a bit if necessary. Is the suggestion above about going to the lounge in Z the best bet before clearing over to the Schengen lounges?
It's been a long time since I was in FRA, the last time I was there I was flying SQ (JFK - FRA - SIN) pre-pandemic and I vaguely recall that the Air Canada lounge had showers but that was a non-Schengen to non-Schengen connection so not applicable here.
You should start with Senator Z and see if you can get a shower straight away or with a short wait. Demand for showers in Senator A likely to be much higher.
Then switch to Senator A, the wait at passport control can be highly variable so best to get it out of the way.
