We see now how well they could have mixed had they persevered. However, being two different species under the strain they were facing as a couple at that time, it was the the penultimate straw before the last one that eventually broke the back (Kelly's death). Ever since Nick became a Grimm and eventually confessed the truth about it to her, his life with Juliette didn't get any better for it. Other things began cropping up between them that were never fully resolved so when she snapped as a hexenbiest, all of her grievances against Nick flooded back and were compounded by the presence of a very pregnant Adalind.
I don't think Eve and Nick would have mixed well if they persevered. I thought there was some chemistry between them a few times when she was Eve, but that was quickly quashed by the creative team. If you compare Nick and Eve's friendship to that of Nick and Monroe, it falls completely flat. Not because it's a man to woman friendship versus a man to man friendship. It has to do with the interaction of the characters as allowed by the creative team. Nick and Monroe interact on a much more personal basis than Nick and Eve. In my estimation, I see Nick and Eve as more peers than anything else. It's apparent to me that their peer relationship was never going to go further. Nick never cared for Eve the way he cared for his friends.

I think that the relationship of Nick and Adalind will exceed that of Nick and Juliette. Because in an moment they left behind the pride to care for a baby. Juliette did nothing for his relationship. She asking for help to Rosalee in spice shop and then rejecting everything by seeing Nick. Laughing at Nick. Telling Rosalee that everything was fine-4×19-. That helped him to be proud? In nothing.
Well, Brandon, you can ramble on and on about the olden days but that all ended with season 4. Season 5 brought us some new and drastic changes. You mention Juliette did nothing for the relationship. In seasons 5 and 6, she couldn't. Adalind had been declared Nick's next live in.
I am still of the opinion that the hexenbiest/grimm mixed relationship cannot endure if both are allowed to be grimms and hexenbiests, that which is natural to them. But that doesn't change that the two species seem to be natural enemies. Nick and Adalind did nothing to change that because Adalind was willing to completely cave to Nick. I believe it was Robyn who said it best: Adalind became the mouse in the corner. She was allowed to live there and she was allowed to raise Kelly there. Diana was also allowed there. At times. Did Adalind ever rise to status of co-owner, co-decision maker or even Nick's equal? Nope.
So while they got along and Adalind raised Kelly and everything seemed hunky dory, I think it was often for appearance's sake because Adalind catered to Nick. I'm sure sometimes Adalind is sitting in the fome, wondering what it be like if she could just go back to being a hexenbiest and raising hell once again. When she got drafted to homemaker duty, she lost her sparkle.
I do recall a scene where Adalind is talking to Rosalle about her ful Hex returning from the results of the potion she took to test before they offered it to Juliette. She confides with Rosalee that she had no desire of getting her full Hex back and how she wished she could be free from a Hexnbiest all together
