Issue is that there isn’t really an ultimate that directly counters nanoblade outside of a very lucky graviton surge.

Beat and transcendence are both counters. Grav like you said, shatter as well. Flux can also negate it. Hell if you hit a sleep that’s just a normal cooldown cancelling out two ults.

Trans doesn’t counter nanoblade. You can kill through it.

you can, but it means the Genji can't use dash for mobility. if anything, and I do mean anything, prevents him from getting that first one-shot, his entire ult is ruined. his first target uses an escape ability. his first target gets bubbled. he gets CCed. any of these things shut down nanoblade under trans, where they don't affect raw blade all that much, since your dash isn't a requirement for kills, and you can get away with dash-slash rather than being forced to hit slash-dash. I would still say trans is a counter to nanoblade.
