Here we ofter have summer temps around +30C and winter -20C, in both I am very happy to have our heat pump. Our unit is operational down to -25C but for the handful of weeks where it does get that low we do run the gas furnace a little just to top up.
We installed three mini splits in total for a ~2k sq ft 1800s draughty home. Before we had them our central air gas furnace, which is ~20 years old, would burn through upwards of $600 a month of gas in winter. With heat pumps we pay $180 a month equalized and we run heat or cool all year except for maybe a month in spring and fall where it's perfect 22c outside.
Without this magical tech we'd be broke or cold in the winter and uncomfortable all summer.
