Does anyone here use a multi-split system for heating, for example as an alternative in older buildings when insulation or renovation is no longer worthwhile?
I’m not familiar with the various split systems, but I’ve come across them often as an alternative to conventional heating when insulation and renovation hardly make sense anymore for the current residents.
I would have concerns about noise, drafts, and the resulting dust circulation since it is an air-to-air heat pump after all.
A photovoltaic system would at least be available for the transitional period from spring to autumn.

I believe @Grundaus has installed split air conditioners as well. Just cheap ones.
And in terms of efficiency, they’re not that far behind the expensive brands. You don’t make back the extra cost of a Mitsubishi.
And electricity only costs about 45 cents for a few people. The average is 36 cents. With photovoltaic panels, it’s down to 10. Portraying a ruthless corporation as a premium reference is simply disgusting.

I have decided to go with an air-to-air heat pump from Panasonic!

Yes, I bought the first cheap unit in 2003 and moved in 2005, when I purchased two more cheap ones. One of the later purchases broke down last year and was replaced this year with a branded (inverter) device. I don’t cool the entire house, as my living room stays cool due to its position, but only the three bedrooms and only before going to bed.

... and only before going to bed. Everyone is free to cool their homes as they prefer – but for most people, this approach means going to bed at 20°C (68°F) and starting to sweat after three hours when the temperature rises to 25°C (77°F). If the masonry is allowed to warm up, a few hours before bedtime usually aren’t enough to keep the room comfortable throughout the night.
