John Stuart Mill for example was raised in this manner… though I am sure he may have been quite miserable in the process
Indeed, he had a breakdown which he put down to his upbringing, though I don’t know if it was primarily due to the utilitarian aspects of this. If I recall correctly, the (deeply uncharitable) parody of such an upbringing in Dickens’ Hard Times was based on Mill.
