It does start after installing. Unless, of course, you use the -delaystart commandline switch.
Check your logs. Did you activate before installing? If not, there's your problem.
TurboFloatServer can't be normally installed on MacOS
In your guide you are claiming the next:
On macOS this "installation" does two things:
It installs the TurboFloat Server instance as a "launchd" daemon set to start with the computer and run silently in the background.
It starts the TurboFloat Server immediately.
In fact using command ./turbofloatserver -i just creates plist-file for launchd,
but this service will not start after executing this command.
Service really will start after next reboot, but it won't start by itself and can't be started manually.
launchctl start or launchctl load just terminating and service cant be started that way.
Can you give us some comments about TFS for macOS? Must we reboot mac every time we need to start server?
(Version of floating server - 4.4.4.1)

3. Does not print any info in system logs (We are watching it in default for macOS Console app)

After installing via -i service does not start by itself. We test it on two mac-mini (BigSur and Catalina)
