Nothing's wrong with utility spells. But, an incredibly specifically designed spell with awkward limitations imposed upon it to try and discourage anything beyond its intended purpose is poor design.

A mage that can create a floating disc of null-gravity that's able to support hundreds of pounds, or let's just go ahead and calculate it in g.p. because let's be real here, would probably want something a little better than a magic wheelbarrow, and most player's involvement with the spell is asking if it can be used for something with a bit more utility and generally being disappointed, especially with the special note on page 45 of the DMG that's explicitly says the caster can't ride it. The only kind thing I can say about the spell is that it can at least be used to transport some liquids.

It's a mix of some of my least favorite kinds of design. It's an incredibly powerful effect in the context of the universe, but given odd limitations in order to try and coax it into a single purpose (and a particular spell level). It's also a spell that exists not because of some sort of organic thought process, but because carting treasure around was a big deal thanks to the rules of the game world. Not a fan.

Also, quick shout-out to Tenser, who according to his own spell would be going around stealing doorknobs.
