It's compatible with utility maximization (you have a utility function and you're maximizing it) but it's not compatible with world utility maximization, which is required for utilitarianism.
That utility function takes world as an input, I'm not sure what you mean by "world utility maximization".
The maximization of the sum (or average) of the utilities of all beings in the world.
