Personally I think his ganks are great. If I had to compare them with Nocture for example I'd say Naut's ganks are stronger as long as he can reach the enemies before they escape.

The way I gank is simple, I just run up to them, auto attack to snare them, use E to slow while auto attacking (with W active) and then if they try to run and/or flash I use my Q to pull them back in. Very few people can escape from that if executed properly, but only if your laner(s) join(s) in to help deal damage.

At the very least you will force them to flash away, which means if you gank again in the next ~3 minutes it should be a sure kill.

Your R is only needed if you have to stall them somehow so you can get close enough to use your Q. For example a Caitlyn shoots her net on you preventing you from walking up to her, use your R, get closer and Q, auto attack and E her.

While I agree maxing E could help with ganks, personally I think it doesn't matter much because Naut's Q (and maybe R) is the tool you should use to secure any kills. And if you focus on movespeed (through Boots of Mobility and runes + masteries) you shouldn't have any trouble keeping up or cutting off enemies.
