How much cooler do you want the room to make a mini split worth the cost over cooling the whole home? Lastly, have you tried a simple ceiling fan in the room first? Not against your idea just my random thoughts.
You perception that a mini split suggests an inadequate cooling system could not be more wrong. Most commercial properties have have zone controls to save energy. Installing a dedicated AC unit in the bedroom makes sense since you can keep the temperature at 68 degs for optimal sleep conditions without wasting energy cooling the rest of the house. The units are very quiet and if there is any noise it would probable serve as a sleep aid similar to playing brown noise in the background.
