I made the following observations in the past two weeks regarding this sysctl:
- Reboots are not strictly necessary after an ath0 device timeout to
get wifi to reconnect, as you expected,
- If a device timeout has happend once, it is a virtual certainty to
get the next one within 2 hours. This continues until the next reboot.
So *something* might not get reset fully

Any ideas?
