adb shell cmd overlay resets to it's previous state (doesn't activate) after reboot

I'm trying to switch between gestural and threebutton navigation using

cmd overlay enable com.android.internal.systemui.navbar.gestural

and

cmd overlay enable com.android.internal.systemui.navbar.threebutton

or via system-->gestures-->system navigation and then selecting gesture navigation and 3-button navigation.

I checked the changes using - cmd overlay list --user current and I was able to see the exact changes made.

But when i reboot my android device, it just reverts back to the previous selected navigation; rarely (after 5-6 tries) the changes made remain after reboot.

Example: If my present selection is threebutton and I change it to gestural, then after reboot it goes back to threebutton or sometimes (after 5-6 tries and reboots), it stays as gestural.

How do i keep the changes permanent even after reboot??

I also have the same issue. The changes made using the adb cmd overlay does not remain after reboot. However, in some forums, i saw that the changes still stayed for some even after reboot but they were probably running android 10. I am currently running Android 11. I don't really know if they changed this feature with android upgrades.
