System Information
Operating system: Win 10 22H2
Graphics card: AMD Radeon R7 200

Blender Version
Broken: 3.60 Release June 27, 3.38 Release June 20
Worked: never noticed this feature before, so went as far back as 3.38, and not prior, in case I am misunderstanding this feature.

Short description of error
When the animation dots are activated to diamonds for
Object Properties - Visibility - Viewports/Renders
and the checkboxes are checked and unchecked based on keyframes, the visiblity is not influenced

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
0. Load Default startup file with everything default, viewport shading to rendered, to test Renders property

Select default cube, (tested with other objects as well, same result)
Enable auto-keying in timeline, go to frame 1
Object Properties - Visibility - Viewports/Renders, click on Animate Property dot for either Viewports or Renders, have not tested it for Holdout yet.
Go to frame 2, uncheck the property
Go to frame 3, check the property
As you do this you will start to see nothing on the timeline, however, if you click on the object in the outliner the timeline shows diamond keyframes being created, but when you play the timeline, it behaves as if nothing was done to the animate property dot, and the keyframes dissappear again, till you click on the object in the outliner again, and the keyframes reappear.

What I expect based on other animate properties, is the object to appear then disappear in the viewport, and the same for rendering, if the Renders property is animated, and the same for Holdout, if the holdout property is animated.
Behaves as if the animation is not registering. The keyframes are created in the timeline, however, there is no influence, as if these are dummy dots.
Unless I have misunderstood this feature, this is not how other animate properties behave.

From what I have tested:

Object visibility is properly keyed with given step and it can be seen in the viewport and render to disappear and reappear, so animation seems to be registering fine.
When object reappears, keyframe indication in the timeline will not reappear (this is probably due to lack of active object when it's hidden, I believe this is not a bug, just a side effect of hiding an object)

Here's what I made from your step, I'm not sure I quite understood the problem, since I believe everything here works correctly:
