I think this will be a bit tricky without some application side sorcery.

 

What seems to be happening is that you're disabling the HTTP profile when the client requests a connection upgrade, but then you try to add persistence based on information in the HTTP payload.

 

However since the HTTP profile has been disabled the F5 is not expecting any HTTP traffic and the response even won't fire.

 

I don't have a 11.3 version to test with and I doubt this will work, but what if you disable the HTTP profile in the response (after setting the persistence?
