Would a humidity sensor and fan be a good idea when putting anew bathroom in?

I would suggest the humidistat controlled fans are much better than
timed ones in this application. They only run when the humidity is above
your pre-set level and not every time you turn the light on.
Is there any risk/tendency for them to cut in and out during the night?
We have an extractor fan in our en-suite which I deliberately wired up
to a simpler on-off switch rather than a timer (which I'd have
preferred), so that it wouldn't stay on during the night and keep SWMBO
awake, but clearly it has limitations.
How appropriate would a humidistat be under these circumstances?
Thanks
