My Argument
I firmly believe that the "Utility" section is bloated.
Unlike the "Colorschemes" section, where it makes sense to have lots of plugins there, we use the "Utility" section as the "safe option" when grouping new plugins. I am convinced many of them would (greatly) benefit from us either creating more categories or grouping each in a more appropriate section. A case-by-case thing, to be precise.
This does not attempt to NUKE the "Utility" section, but rather to redistribute (an arguably considerable amount of) plugins listed there.
This is a daunting task and will need the maintainers' feedback and consensus.
I am just starting to think of how to address this but I'd like to hear from you.

I'm skimming through the Utility section and I'll throw some ideas out here for "new possible sections" that could contain more than one plugin:
Stats Tracking
Automations
Notifications (or even move some stuff to "UI")
Folds
Buffers
Integrations (for stuff like Jupyter, Live Previews... might need a better name)

Considering #2048 I would say that as soon as that is closed, we can close this one too.
