One of the biggest advantage of mini-splits, is the remote control. They provide nearly instant heat or air conditioning.

In my experience, the useful life when used "on demand" is likely to be 10-12 years. Constantly managed/used, more like 6-8 years.

You seem to have the most hands on experience. Adding a Mini-split to garage should only be used on demand, or managed? Not so much cost effective, but keeping a south facing garage cooler. Which is recommended especially for EVs.
