Rearrange VLANs and DGs with Cisco switches

I am moving from layer 2 to layer 3 between my main connection between 2 building (see picture). Please provide input for the before and after the change of the network. Does it make sense?
Will I have a better response time if I have svi for vlan 20 & vlan 10 on sw2? Because with the after scenario, the intervlan traffic  can be done on sw2-after, rather than go to sw1-after.

Thank you in advance.

For core typically you should use loopback interface for management with IP address of x.x.x.x 255.255.255.255 and advertise it to routing protocol.
Use the least available vlan number for management, some protocols take automatically the least vlan number available for advartisements (example VTP).
Any particular reason why you use public IP addresses between distribution and core (and with core IP address is in private address range)?

Public IP addresses are just for testing. I will use a private subnet there in production.  I don't use VTP. Thanks

Just simple static routing.
