Not in this case – the opposite of 'no stencil' is 'any stencil',
not '_the_ stencil' ;-)

Do you have a minimal example where

\revert Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil

does not work?

Wait a moment: the TimeSignature will only reappear within the score 
when the signature has changed, i.e. from \time 4/4 to \time 3/4 back to 
\time 4/4.

I think a tiny example of what you want to achieve would be very helpful.
