You are mis-informed.
My TPMS was fine after I used the goo according to the technician, but I had bought a replacement part anyway for $8 so I had it installed for free.
It was what my quote was from the tire shop and as I said, both the manual and the bottle insist that you must replace the TPMS after using the goo. I'm glad both were wrong, but I will say the price is incredibly high on the Nissan branded stuff compared to what you can get off the shelf that is just as good.
OEM on Ebay is cheap
I actually bought this
Denso 999-0601 TPMS Sensor Maintenance Kit
From Amazon for $5. It refurbishes the TPMS with a new sensor and gaskets.
Nowadays it is under $3

I was skeptical of the entire goo approach too, but the Nissan solution is a winner. When all was said and done, I paid ~ $50 combined for the sensor kit, tyre repair, and goo replacement. CHEAP for a solution that let me deal with the flat on the side of road quickly and easily. Tyre sidewall damage is not amenable to goo, but thankfully those are much less frequent. Perhaps the biggest advantage of goo for me is that my wife is willing to use it if need be, which has never been the case when jacking up the car and swapping tyres has been called for.
