I have followed the doc and implemented the steps on my test GKE cluster like you. Just I have one observation about the current API version for deployment. We need to use apiVersion: apps/v1 instead of apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1. Then I test with a busybox pod to mount the volume and the test was successful.
Then I exposed the service “nfs-server” as service type “Load Balancer” like below
and found the external load balancer endpoints like (LB_Public_Ip):111 in Services & Ingress tab. I allowed ports 111, 2049, 20048 in firewall. After that I took a redhat based VM in the GCP project and installed “sudo dnf install nfs-utils -y”. Then you may use the below command to see the nfs exports list. Then you can mount it as expected.
-sudo showmount -e LB_Public_IP
Please have a look on the below sample configuration and you may follow the GCP doc
