I imagine if a player threw up the shot with 0.3 on the shot clock, there would more than 0.3 seconds pass before you can determine shot was missed so wondering when the game clock would stop.

The game clock doesn't stop until it's a violation. It's not a violation until the ball does not hit the rim.
