How about fuel sensor installed just with the cork gasket? Is the ProSeal 100% necessary?

OK here is my .02 cents on the cork gasket for the Fuel sender unit.
In production airplanes almost all fuel take sending units and access covers
for the bladder type of takes are sealed with cork gaskets only and no
proseal is used at all. I think when I do mine it will have a touch of fuel
lube on the gasket and that’s all, no proseal.
Now fuel take access panels are usually prosealed once installed and are a
bear to clean up and reseal. And I totally agree no metal scrapers if at
all possible.

I think I have had cork and neoprene gaskets on my fuel senders for my wet wing Mooney. One of the few places leaks have not been a problem. (one tank still has some sections with original 1965 sealant). Even access panels should use the non-hardening variety of PRC, (PR1403-G-B2 or CS-3330-B). Much easier to open and to reseal...and it uses isopropyl alcohol for solvent for cleanup, rather than the nastier stuff.
