I think the idea is that even a pure utilitarian should care about contractarian-style thinking for almost any practical scenario, even if there are some thought experiments where that’s not the case.
I think that is basically true in practice, but I am also saying that even absent those pragmatic considerations constraining utilitarianism, I still would hold these other non-utilitarian normative views and reject things like not leaving some space for existing beings for a tiny proportional increase in resources for utility monsters.
