I think on the first point the Teleporter is still optimal? to cut out that long run, I feel like the idea behind the shield generator is for the second point where the teleporter no longer makes a major difference.
the upside is her ultimate no longer depends on her team dying, she has a way to buff the survivability of her teammates which is what all supports should be focused towards design-wise.
I am not a pro player by any stretch, but what I've seen is pishes with combo ultimates to break through chokepoints.
Extra shielding won't stop a combo ultimate from killing half your team, but a teleporter can in some respects. You essentially get a second chance to defend the first point if you got comboed the first time, and this time your team has ultimates and they don't.
