It is pretty strong but I figured a few things out.

1, you might have to Flash away from that ult anytime it's being used. The reaction time between Kalista casting it and the support being sent away is just long enough escape or even dash away from as long as it's very much in a direction parallel to the cast.

This does of course make her grabber support combinations powerful despite taking that measure.

2, get a peeler. A really good one. I was supporting a Kog'maw as Lulu and we were facing Morgana and Kalista and post level six she would use that combo where upon being focused down and pushed back she threw Morgana at him and Morgana ulted. That lockdown worked and killed him pretty quickily. At the time I was low on mana.

Next time he managed to dodge the ult by just walking out of the way as Morgana twitch casted herself before seeing where Kog'maw was going.

Third time I actually ulted Kog'maw maybe a fraction of a second before Morgana arrived from her ult and I actually knocked Morgana up after she knocked Kog'maw up causing her to be CC'ed just long enough for Kog'maw to kill her and continue going after Kalista which thanks to a surprisingly good combination of Bio Arcan Barrage and Whimsy, wasn't really that hard.

If you can in any way replicate an almost instant reaction to her ult's connection with the peel you need to apply you can probably defuse the situation better than expected.

You actually want Kalista to use her ult in a purely defensive way. It's up to her and her support to decide how to use the ult and if you've forced Kalista into saving the support and there's no plan for a counterattack she's effectively wasted the ult and the support presumably has to recall leaving her alone in lane.
