The only template provided in the new documentation is to “hide_header”:

To apply a template to another option you just need to follow the same approach depending on the name of the entity that you want to use. There is no need to make a repetitive example for each one of the options if the approach is the same.

if I add the following to my yaml, the helper buttons I have on my dashboard just hide the sidebar and header and doesn’t unhide them:

You code is wrong, you have not closed the template (check the }}' at the end):

kiosk_mode:
  hide_sidebar: '{{ is_state("input_boolean.hide_sidebar","on") }}'
  hide_header: '{{ is_state("input_boolean.hide_header","on") }}'

Why isn’t there an option to “show_header” or “show_sidebar”? Is there any workaround for those of us that need to be able to hide and show using helper buttons?

There is no need for that, when the entity is on you template will return true and when the entity is off, it will return false, so the header will hide or show depending on the entity status.
