Could also be "not so willing when questioning good things".

Also possible, Milky, but it changes the meaning .
Not so willing to question the good things - they don't question the good things at all.
Not so willing questioning the good things - they do question the good things, but unwillingly.
Not so willing to question the good things - they don't question the good things at all.
Not so willing questioning the good things - they do question the good things, but unwillingly.

For me, Nona, the meaning of the original is ambiguous.
<<"It seems that people are not so willing questioning the good things.">>
<<"It seems that people are not so willing questioning the good things.">>

<Not so willing to question the good things - they don't question the good things at all.>
What would be the difference between these two, for you?
Not so willing to question the good things.
Not willing to question the good things.

willing [+ (for) + (object) + (to inf.)]

Inchoateknowledgeand for me it is ungrammatical in all circuimstancesThat depends on the register and on what the sepaker wants to say. If meaning "It seems that people are not so willing (when) questioning the good things.", in casual speech, it would probably be understood by many NES.
willing [+ (for) + (object) + (to inf.)]

"I guess this explain what I mean??"
willing and when are not connected grammatically, both your sentences are fine.
"when questioning the good things" is an adverbial phrase in your sentence.
By the way, does it modify the verb to be or the adjective willing, do you think?
IMO the former
