GNOME no possibility to auto-login after hibernation/suspend

Running GNOME 40.4.0 with GDM.

Issue: I want to achieve auto-login after wakeup from hibernation or suspend. In other words, I don't want GNOME to lock my screen when I hibernate my system (using systemctl hibernate). My drive is encrypted with LUKS, hence the passphrase for that should be enough protection.
In GNOME settings (Privacy -> Screen lock) there are no options to disable locking when hibernating/suspension.

Ubuntu seems to have this in their Gnome version, as seen in numerous forum posts, such as:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1029696 … pend-18-04
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1144346 … -on-resume
https://askubuntu.com/questions/17157/h … on-suspend

In Ubuntu the solution seems to be setting the ubuntu-lock-on-suspend key in gsettings as 'false' via:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver ubuntu-lock-on-suspend 'false' 

However, in Arch GNOME, the ubuntu-lock* key obviously doesn't exist.

gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.desktop.screensaver | grep lock
org.gnome.desktop.screensaver lock-enabled true
org.gnome.desktop.screensaver lock-delay uint32 0

The Arch wiki on GNOME provided no further help. Someone advised me to run

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.lockdown disable-lock-screen 'true'

which works, in a way, but it completely disables the lock screen. I still want the option to lock my screen, when needed.

Is there an equivalent of ubuntu-lock-on-suspend in Arch GNOME? If not, how can I implement it myself?
