It's not obvious to me why it's not working in your case . I have a 7" touch and when I get some spare cycles I'll run a test.
Screen-blanking timeout has worked fine for me with my official RP 7-in Touch Display through multiple releases of moOde including 7.2.1.
I leave most system config settings at their default values. (Note, I've used this display only on RPi3B+ and RPi4B models.)
Perhaps OP has something running which is keeping the screen active?

Kent
