He could kick in the doors of mosques and dispatch some justice to the radicalized. Heck no need for warrants or trials, the guy had a prayer rug and bought some fertilizer and Nick heard him talking. Or that kid, Ahmed Mohamed...with that clock? Come on Truble let's go visit him.
Or how about a reverse scenario, where Nick judges a wesen innocent and lets her/him go, only to find out later said wesen is a terrorist or serial killer?
If Nick found a serial killer he would likely recruit them to assist him. It takes a rare type of demented and insidious soul to murder as many people as Nick has and not bat an eye. Likely if he found a kindred spirit, like he did in Truble, he would recruit them into the fold.
I think your ignoring the premise of the show Grimm. As others have said it's a fantasy world, originally based on fairytales. In fairytales, there were these huntsmen who killed the big bad wolves and the witches etc because they terrorised the helpless folks. The show gave them a name, like in some fairytales, they even worked for Royals at some stage. What this show did was translation all of that to the "real" world instead of fairytales. You're looking at Nick as though he exists in our world. He doesn't. His world is vastly different to ours because of the existence of wesen.
By our standards, in a non fictitious world, Nick does qualify as a killer but I don't think serial killer applies to Nick in the truest sense. Just as police officers in real life are killers when forced to take a life by those same criminals that force their hand and continue to endanger lives. For the majority of times, Nick acted no differently, except with Kenneth.
A serial killer is rather hyperbolic when describing his character. He didn't wander around until he came across his victims, he tried arresting criminals who'd committed crimes and he only ever killed them them when he had no other choice and still needed to stop them. These wesen weren't people minding their business, they had/were committing heinous crimes and had to be stopped. His first approach was always to arrest them.
In his world, not even by the standard of his own people, who were known to kill indiscriminately was Nick a killer of wesen and nothing else. Not every wesen Nick faced ended up dead. he did manage to arrest quite a good numbers them.
