Can I work around this issue of after hibernation the node won't bind to port 80? Or do I need to set it to something above port 1024, for example the default port 9001?

Yes, but you can redirect traffic from port 80 to 9001 using iptables and let the relay advertise port 80.

Here is how Tor Cloud does it: https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor-cloud.git/blob/HEAD:/ec2-prep.sh#l67

If you have restrictive firewall settings, you will need to open port 9001 for incoming traffic as well.
