Well, actually, I assume that any Rasengan variant with chakra nature would carry a unique effect like the one of Rasenshuriken. Basically, the latter didn't get an usual wind release effect since otherwise it'd stay just an highly sharp chakra-shuriken (sharpness is the main property of wind) without the part with microscopic chakra blades damaging the enemy after exploding. Boruto's wind release Rasengan aka Vanishing Rasengan contaiins a unique effect for oneself as well. But mainly, I spoke about Rasengan being versatile in battling other ninjutsu without any mention of chakra absorption jutsu/other types of techniques like genjutsu. Also, Madara/Sasuke overpowered water with fire because their fire was on more advanced level. But an elemental Rasengan is already the highest level of both form and nature transformation.
