The core Genesis developers are aware & consider this to not be an issue as it's unlikely that PHP 7 will ever introduce any functions that start with __genesis_. Since Genesis runs on hundreds of thousands of WordPress sites, would it be possible to add Genesis to the Results page https://github.com/wpengine/phpcompat/wiki/Results ?
