I do not have a 11.3-STABLE reference box, but could you check
man bhyve
and see if it has the new -c options:
SYNOPSIS
bhyve [-abehuwxACHPSWY]
[-c [[cpus=]numcpus][,sockets=n][,cores=n][,threads=n]]
If it has that form of -c you SHOULD stop using hw.vmm.topology.cores_per_package
and start to use the new -c options.
I do not believe this feature is in 11.3, but it may of been merged.

-c cores=4
or
-c cores=2
Note unspecified values default to 1. See the man page for additional details.
