While the Rotation has no "cause" (i.e no beginning to nullify), Johnny himself does, meaning GER could just erase the cause of Johnny firing an infinite rotation nail, even erasing the cause of him getting on his horse in the first place and prevent him from ever activating the Super Spin.

To drive my point further, it's shown in the High Voltage arc that, while Tusk is resistant to timestop, Johnny isn't, similarly to how Giorno is affected by time-erasure but GER is not. This essentially means that, while their Stands cannot be attacked by things like time manipulation and/or reality manipulation, they themselves can be. As a correction, GER doesn't nullify cause, but effect. King Crimson erases causes and keeps effects, GER keeps causes and erases effects. It doesn't, as far as I know, require a beginning to work it's mojo on something. What it needs is an effect to target. So, if anything has an effect that harms Gio, GER can simply nullify that effect, keeping the origin of the effect intact. It doesn't reverse time or retroactively cut people from existence, getting rid of them from their beginning, when someone is punched by it. It just gets rid of them.

Other than that, I completely agree with your points. Johnny would definitely be fair game for GER to target. It seems to me that it would be quite easy for GER to also target the nail itself, or any other medium by which the Super Spin tries to propagate. Pretty sure those are part of Johnny, not his Stand, even if they can damage Stands.
