These "messages" are actually errors, so `inhibit-message' has no effect
(and I think you would regret sooner or later when setting
`inhibit-message' globally to t).

AFAICT there is no user option to achieve what you want.  I would try it
like this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun my-ignore-bet-end-of-buffer--around-ad (f &rest args)
  (condition-case nil
      (apply f args)
    ((beginning-of-buffer end-of-buffer))))

(advice-add 'left-char :around
            #'my-ignore-bet-end-of-buffer--around-ad)

(advice-add 'right-char :around
            #'my-ignore-bet-end-of-buffer--around-ad)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
