People do that all the time, like in Florida, or even in Los Angeles when the RH gets to 60%+ (!)

However, the likelihood of condensation is extremely high, since the dew points are very high, and there's likely to be a propensity for mold

An AC will dehumidify, they just need to provide enough to overcome the humidity gains to the space. Let your engineer design and size it for you.
 
Summer reheat, winter heating and humidification would also be required in addition to air conditioning. The air conditioning unit must be designed for 50F supply during summer to attain the 40% RH requirement. Summer reheat is required to not overcool the space with the 50F supply air required for dehumidification. Winter humidification is required when outdoor air dewpoint is less than 36F. Refer to pyschrometric chart.
