On x86, maybe. Try booting an M1 Mac, turning off the screen (without closing the lid - that's what makes it go to sleep instantly), SSHing in, and running a shell loop that prints out the date every minute.
I left it running and the thing didn't even drop from 100% battery after 3 hours, when macOS finally decided to go into real standby and that killed the connection. Did it for another 3 hours and I was at 98%. That's 2% battery usage per 3 hours for a system with an OS running, active WiFi, and an open TCP connection.
"Modern standby" works when your hardware has good power management.
FWIW, I've never seen an M1 go into hibernation other than when the battery is about to die. The normal lid closed state is true sleep, not hibernation. You can tell because waking up from actual hibernation actually takes a progress bar and a few seconds.
