Don't forget 6L5, and 7193, 7A4 or 76 with a completely different type of adapter (plus there are others).
I am not aware of an adapter that will take one 6J5 in place of a 6SN7, but there are adapters for 2 6J5 and you could probably leave one off.
While I am not an expert, I have heard of people using 1/2 of a 12AX7 or 6DJ8 in an attempt to reduce noise floor.
While I am sure that the builder is quite good, there does not seem to be any reason to use 1/2 of a 6SN7 when 6J5 (and other similar single triodes) are readily available and dirt cheap.
By the way, here is a decent write up on the 6J5:

P.S.: I love adapters just because they give me more tubes to play with without having to rewire (which I am not good at).
