"seems it would be preferable to become a consequentialist – indeed, iti s be virtually impossible not to be a consequentialist."
A consequentialist about what? No one can be a consequentialist about their own actions, because no one has perfect knowledge of the ultimate outcomes of their actions..practical morality cannot be consequentialism.
Expected utility doesn't have to be deterministic.
How is that relevant?
I f you mean you can approximate expected utility with heuristic, that is arguably doing deontology and calling it consequentialism , or at least compromising between the two.
