My previous home had a Carrier Infinity System - arguably the most sophisticated (and complex, not always a good thing) system out there. The integrated humidistat could control the variable speed air handler to ramp down the air flow and also put the compressor in half-speed mode for better humidity control. Even with ramping down the air flow for humidity control it would still, on occasion, hit the overcooling limit of 3 degrees.
Our Carrier system in The Villages has a built in humidistat but does not have a variable speed air handler and single speed compressor. I am a bit disappointed that The Villages "cheaped out" on that - for a small incremental cost they could have speced the better air handler. Our system, by default, will overcool by 3 degrees.

A true dehumistat will not over cool your space. To be truly functional the dehumidistat must enable & disable both the cooling and heating cycles so as to properly maintain the desired humidity setpoint. If a dehumidistat is only cycling the cooling on and off the resulting humidity level is simply the byproduct of condensation removal and will most definitely over cool the space rather dramatically under certain conditions.
