I've run into the same issue while preparing my Sonoma configuration for
lab rebuilds, but seem to have worked out the solution. See below for
the working settings. This sets require password after screen saver or
sleep to never.

It took about 20 minutes, on a Mid 2012 iMac non fusion drive, and I
just triggered it via jamf policy in terminal. I have also just tested
via self service and it worked as well.
I have deployed the combo update to half a dozen machines successfully
so far. Instead of using Composer to package it, just drag the .pkg that
is inside the dmg into casper admin and deploy the .pkg with a reboot at
the end.
