"Overwintering" means to care for a plant through winter. For succulents, we often use it in reference to whether they can stay outdoors through winter.
Your experts are correct: humidity and zone 9 heat is a tough combo for frost hardy succulents. But if you have success growing Sempervivum, it's likely you'll be able to grow the Zone 6-9 Sedum linked below. Just be sure to plant in a gritty, well-draining soil.
Another option you could try is these Crassula Jade Plants. They're hardy in zone 9 and make for nice landscaping shrubs. On the off chance that you're forecasted to get below 20F one winter night, you can cover them with a sheet or row cover like Reemay.
