I noted an immediate improvement when I turned it off and reasoned that its attempt to constantly hit a specific speed (usually about 65 to 69 MPH) was overwhelming traction with so much water. Turning it off and relying on engine braking by letting the foot off the accelerator improved and I figured that was that.
Then today, same kind of very heavy rain on my commute home. I quickly turned off adaptive and had less problems, but the car still wanted to hydroplane at much lower speeds than I expected.

Cruise control should never be used on wet roads. Your other hydroplaning is due to excessive speed.
Wet roads be slick, yo.
