If Nick knew it was Adalind he was having sex with, and willingly went ahead with it anyway, there'd be no reason to be upset. However, if he didn't know it was Adalind, I would expect him to be upset enough to kill her. It's not just sex. Adalind stole Juliette's identity. Not only that, but she stole from Nick as well, not only his grimm but the intimacy he reserved for Juliette.
Nick is not going to kill a woman over sex. That would be psychotic. Being angry at her is a far cry from desiring her murder. The most he ever hated Adalind, was in that fight after the Hank incident. And if he's not going to kill her then, she would have had to do much worse to sway him. And once he understands Adalind's motivation in appearing as Juliette, any hatred he has for Adalind is reduced by his own guilt for helping to incite all of this drama. None of this is black and white. It's not a this or that choice between being happy it happened and murderous rage. He gets to feel ambivalence.
I'm not looking at it as just sex with girltoy Juliette. I see it as meaningful, a part of Nick's love for Juliette. If it was just sex, Juliette wouldn't have been upset, and she was right to be upset. You want to look at it as sex with the girltoy, that's fine. But that's not how I see it.
Girl toy!? However casual the sexual encounter was, it's a massive leap to have Nick ready to kill over it. That would be deeply out of character for him. And between Nick and Juliette, she was the one harboring the most resentment. So, if I could picture anyone with a murderous glint in their eye, it would be Juliette. But even with that, it took the Hexenbeist influence to push her to such an extreme.
