I’m getting a bit confused on how Qubes is only persisting some data
for example:
the torrc for sys-whonix is persisted across host reboots but the hostnames and keys for my hidden services don’t persist.
Should I be mirroring all my actions into the template VMs in order for everything to persist across reboots?

In Qubes-Whonix 12 additionally the following are persisted:
Technical information:

This is also currently subject for discussion, changes, etc. for Whonix 13 and above, see:
