Where did you get that last bit? Mini splits are so easy to put in on old homes. They run the lines externally and make a hole into the wall. I have it in my 1920s home.
It's a problem if you use radiated heating which is what most homes in Europe use. It's not impossible to solve you just hook the heat pump into a heat exchanger and transfer the heat into a hot water tank. It's just a hot water tanks tend to take up a lot of space and it's an extra component to you need added.
Why not both? I kept my gas radiated floorboard heat as a back up and mostly use the minisplits.
