Personally, having lived in places with ductless heat pumps they suck.
Lots more maintenance (they need regular cleaning or they build up mold), they don’t circulate air through the house so rooms get their own weird microclimates and get stuffier, and it’s a constant hassle tracking down remotes.
Central is way more comfortable and lower maintenance, IMO.
My house with central forced air already has rooms with weird microclimates due to differing amounts of exterior walls and/or windows. I’ve had the thought that I could use ductless heat pumps to reduce the temperature differences between different rooms in my house.
