What is the effect of too much dihedral effect?

A side effect of too much dihedral effect, caused by excessive dihedral angle among other things, can be yaw-roll coupling (a tendency for an aircraft to Dutch roll). This can be unpleasant to experience, or in extreme conditions, it can lead to loss of control or can overstress an aircraft.
