I recall that they are common in Japan, but I don’t recall seeing them used for every room in a house. I share your concern about the hardware scattered throughout the house - would want everything except the plumbing to be accessible.
I also would think about condensation on the lines, dripping in the walls. The piping ought to be properly wrapped/insulated to prevent this.
I guess this requires less room (tubing vs ducting) in the house, so is cheaper to install. No ducts to clean is a plus. Fan noise in each room could be a negative.
I’m open to new ideas and approaches, but I’d want to see a comparable installation and warranty.
While nat gas is currently inexpensive, it is the next fuel under attack for its contribution to climate change (after coal, nearly dead). Expect the price to go up as supplies are constrained and carbon tax of some sort is implemented during the life of your house.
That’s all I’ve got.
