For those following this, here is break down of cost involved to get back up and running. Please note I was fortunate that there was no body/paint damage worthy of fixing.
Front license plate mount: $50 (required in my state)
Nengun eliminator kit : $175 (tariffs and shipping hit hard, plus 5 weeks delivery time)
Main Airbag computer reset : $120 (now that I have the scanner, I am not sure it was necessary. Plus it was a royal pain to get to)
Pedestrian impact sensors: $550 (I bought three of the 5 total at $180 each)
Nissan specific Scanner: $205 (got lucky and was able to order on Ebay special sale, saved $50)

That comes to a grand total of $1100. So, with my $1000 deductible I would have been worse off running through insurance. Of course, this would have been much more had I replaced or repaired the popper themselves.
In hindsight, I should have bought the scanner first to see what had to be replaced versus just reset.
From the research that I've done, I'm pretty sure that the computer always needs replacement, or reset/reprogramming, once it's triggered. So it doesn't seem like you wasted any money.
Congrats on the fix, I'm sure you are happy to put behind you at this point!
