The phrase "How bad really is the D ecosystem?" only asks a question, but
people tend to interpret such sentences as "D's ecosystem is really bad". What
works better is:
"How good really is the D ecosystem?"
Your suggested phrasing sounds overly trite to me. I would maybe go for 'Is the
D ecosystem really that bad?'
Again, never write "Is the D ecosystem really that bad?" unless one wants to
give the impression that the D ecosystem is bad. Because all the dear reader
actually sees is:
D ecosystem bad
