Jon Snow is another oathbreaker, which, although rather quaint to modern tastes, is a pretty big deal in a feudal society. He doesn't get the Caesar treatment because he is disliked, he gets it because he goes against everything the Night's Watch stands for and which he swore to uphold. He's definitely not good in the same sense that Ramsay is evil, which is what I'm getting at.
Ned was honourable but I don't think that is the same as good. He and Stannis are very similar characters, and nobody thinks Stannis is good. Ned just never was placed into the same situations as Stannis.
Ser Davos was a smuggler and criminal before Stannis elevated him. Not sure how that is unqualified benevolence either.
That being said, Maester Aemon is unreservedly good, even going so far as to renounce his family and power. So I guess he is the one counter-example, but he is a pretty bit player and for all we know he secretly screwed goats or something, which will be revealed in a Sam flashback as he is raped by a gang of other students in the Citadel.
Who isn't in the show? Vargo Hoat? I thought he was in season two when Arya and her pals get captured and are serving in the castle. It's all so long ago now I conflate the books with the show. Which is why I only figured it's safe now to come in here to comment.

Nope. I'm pretty sure the Brave Companions haven't been on the show. But I could be wrong. It doesn't really matter.
I was being cheeky anyways.
