Numbers with leading zeros need to be quoted in Ansible, otherwise they are interpreted as octal. Which the templating happily writes out in... decimal.
In this case, sftp_umask 0027 was ending up as 23 in sshd.conf.
On a Debian Buster system, fixing this did not result in a change in the default umask applied, so I assume that
internal-sftp
ignored '23' and fell back to 0027 as its default (as is the case on Debian). Other distros/systems with alternate defaults will likely experience a change in behavior.
