Couple of options. First is that, while GER can negate the effect on Gio, it's not within range of Pucci, and thus can't stop the effect at the source. We don't actually what, if any, range restrictions GER has. It's possible that it would be limited to negating the acceleration in an area around itself.

Second option is that it could do that, but didn't. GER is, after all, not entirely under Gio's control. Why it would take that course of action, I don't know. Something like Pucci's "gravity" repelling it or forcing it into inaction, maybe? Might explain why Gio never showed up in Part 6, despite the hint in a bio that he might have been drawn to Florida, like his half-siblings.

Then we get to more crazy things. Maybe, for Gio, he just never reaches that point, similar to Diavolo, because that's all GER could do. Maybe he ended up in another universe through some off-screen adventure, and thus wasn't there to stop it. Maybe he choked on a raisin and died before then. Or maybe you're right. We don't have enough data to do more than speculate.
