It will always be questioned, even from Eagles, with all the leader requirements and time restraints. That young just sounds like ticking boxes as fast as you can. It's not uncommon and they are arguing currently about it on the BSA reddit about what is too young.

A year ago, or even 6 months I might agree with you. But I will say this as a parent. The amount of personal growth he's had in the past six months or so since earning life is amazing.

He still has multiple Eagle required merit badges to earn, so it's not a done deal yet. But one of those is camping and he's done the hardest/most time consuming requirement of that badge, 20 camping nights. I think he's in the mid to high 20's at this point, so he's put his time in there. If you've been in the program, you know the best way to get requirements finished is to go on camping trips...
