1. I am in GA Zone 7 and a little different perspective...

I have had a heat pump (well, 2) in the last 20 years and absolutely love it. The ONLY time it's not great is when it is sustained low temps like 20-30s. Mine is not dual fuel so the electricity kicks in and it can get pricey but as an example, my electric last month (June) when it was hot AF here in Atlanta, this 3/2 stayed nice and cool at around 72-74 for $125. Also on the plus side, my gas bill runs about 32 per month year round for hot water (tankless), cooking and clothes dryer.
