On ps4 when not in combat you can't see the crossbars....but on PC you're forced to have them there.
Is there a way to toggle them off?

Sort of. If you're looking for it to be completely automatic, I don't think there is. But you can make macros to hide (well, toggle really) pretty much any hud element, including hotbars.
For example
putting this in a macro will toggle displaying hotbar 1 on or off. Add the rest of the hotbars you want, and any other hud elements you might not want on all the time.Code:/hotbar display 1
You know, my best friend literally just stumbled upon a way to do that. They only appear when he holds L2/R2. I'll ask him or try it myself and get an answer for you later today.
I think it's part of the transparency settings. Can't confirm, as I'm currently at work, but it might be that. Or it might just affect when in combat and holding either L2/R2, and the opposite one can be made invisible. My minds aa bit fuzzy on it right now.
I've seen a youtube video where the person had the hotbars disappear whenever they sheathed their weapon. Macro'd I'm sure.

I use a macro for mine when I'm raiding or doing dungeons, etc. You can tweak it as you like and add stuff or remove as needed. Example below. Useful for when you want to keep only combat related UI shown and hide the rest.
/hud dlist
/hud tbar
/hud gil
/hud igrid
/hud mmenu
/hud ebar
/hotbar display 4
/hotbar display 5
/hotbar display 6
/hotbar display 7
/hotbar display 8
If you turn this setting off, your cross hot-bar wont appear unless being used

The regular hotbar still appearing is my cooldown hotbar, just ignore that.........
also Im not sure this works with normal hotbars.
The toggle for weapon drawn is /battlemode or /bm for short. It also takes arguments "on" and "off". So you could have a macro with
/bm off
and a bunch of lines disabling your hotbars, and another macro with
/bm on
making them visible again.
Edit: oh, Ghastly answered own question. I'd only read up to "is it /seathe ?"
The X keys also the command for sheathing/drawing weapons
Yeah hiding it through menu isn't the way I was thinking of :x the macro way with /hotbar display 1 toggle , is more automatic and exact. I really wish they would just add it to the character configuration menu though. Seems like a great quality of life update than having to write a macro for it.
Oh but maybe the menu way only works for cross hotbar (controller). But yeah on pc we have to use macro.
