I did this three more times with plain water to flush out the RainX, and then I filled it to the top with the regular blue stuff. The low washer fluid warning still comes on shortly after every start up.
Does it take time for the system to reset or recalibrate before it will shut off? Or does the sensor just need to be replaced?

It shouldn't have to recalibrate. I had the same issue with Rain X setting off my sensor this past winter as well. Eventually I topped off the washer fluid tank with some blue washer fluid and the warning never came back. You shouldn't have to empty out the reservoir as when I added the blue fluid my reservoir wasn't empty, so even a mixture of Rain X and blue fluid seemed to be enough to clear the warning light.
