There are as many versions of chili as there are people making chili. This is a running joke for anyone who makes chili.
Hell, the most famous chili jihad is the beans vs. no beans discussion.
Put whatever you want in your chili. In the end, the only thing that matters is whether or not the people at your dinner table like it.
This particular question is one of spiciness and there is NEVER one authoritative answer. Put as much heat in it as you like.
If you like spicy Italian sausage, put it in. If you prefer mild Italian sausage, use that.
And this isn't specific to this dish.
You can omit any of the ingredients. You can add whatever you want (like Worcestershire or Asian fish sauce). Chili recipes are merely suggestions: they aren't gospel unless they are written for a restaurant kitchen staff for consistency.
Though I love spicy food, I’d probably use sweet sausages in this so it’s not overly spicy. You can control the heat by using more or less of the adobo peppers and sauce.

Personally I have never added sausage meat to my chili.
Best of luck.
The poster was asking about a specific recipe, not whether sausage has a place in chili.
