None of these command make the server not hibernate when empty so I'm wondering if Valve decided to always make servers hibernate when empty now? I rent a server so I checked the start up command line and existing server.cfg cvars to see if there were any contradictions and I found none.
Figured it out! When you first start the server, this cvar will not kick in. Only after a map change after initial start will this disable hibernation.

edit edit:
I also appears that when the server empties from the changed map the "sv_hibernate_when_empty" cvar reverts back to "1". I'm not sure why it does this?
