Are there windspeed limitations for Cat III approaches that take into account the performance capabilities of these autopilot systems?
Yes.
The L1011 for example has the following wind limits for CATIII...

Cross, 15 knots
Headwind, 20 knots
Tailwind, 10 knots

These are the basic Lockheed limitations, some operators have more conservative numbers.
