Suspend on idle is disabled by default, it seems you opened several bugs
about the same issue ;-)

Though do you want suspend on idle to be hidden from the ui on vms? Is
there any way to detect we run in a vm instance?

Title:
  suspend on idle should be disabled when running inside a VM

Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Suspend on idle does not work with our preferred virtualization
  technology of libvirt/qemu-kvm. The machine suspends, but there is no
  way to make it resume. I don't know if qemu-kvm and the VM bios
  supports it or if it is simply a bug in libvirt, but suspending in a
  VM by default is pointless as it only gets in the way of people's
  work. If I walk away from my computer, the host should suspend if I
  choose for it to do so, not the VM. Suspending/resuming the host with
  running VMs has worked fine for years so there should be no problem
  with this.
