I'm pretty sure it's part of State under [MainWindow] in konsolerc.

Plasma 6 Bugs
If you encounter a bug, proceed to https://bugs.kde.org, check whether it has been reported.
If it hasn't, report it yourself.
PLEASE THINK CAREFULLY BEFORE POSTING HERE.
Developers do not look for reports on social media, so they will not see it and all it does is clutter up the feed.
That could be it as I don't understand those bunch of characters on the ~~status~~ state value, but if I copy the whole konsolerc file and on a fresh install paste it back the toolbars keep visible even if I had set them to be hidden before backing the file up.
Not for me. I don't have a fresh install here right now, but if I move konsolerc and start Konsole, it comes up with the toolbars along with other default settings, if I move it back, the toolbars are gone again.
Here's my konsolerc (trimmed out some settings):
[General]
ConfigVersion=1
[KonsoleWindow]
RememberWindowSize=false
ShowMenuBarByDefault=false
ShowWindowTitleOnTitleBar=true
[MainWindow]
MenuBar=Disabled

Oh my! Yours worked. Thank you very much, this was driving me crazy for days.
Nice!
