It's a trade off, elves can have a starting dex of 20. The thing you have to decide when you do that is what kind of gear you're going to have, and what kind of stuff you're going to be fighting. In just a run through the OC's, I don't think I'd push it like that, since you're going to come across all kinds of opponents. However, to run in Undermountain, with the right gear, a wisdom of 8 won't be so bad, because you can get immunities to mind spells, and you can get fort save items, or constitution boosts from items.
In a low magic world, I'd have done her a bit differently, but when you have the gear, you take advantage of it.
