...in return for Utopia on Earth?
(assume God is on board and all going to heaven would still get to go)

Absolutely not!
That's what the war in heaven was all about. Satan forces every one to be "good" (makes us all zombies) We live in some weird paradise with him as king. Bad idea.
Then again.......some days I get really tired of being right.

Definitely not. I want to take responsibility for helping to create
a better world (Utopia) and I need my free will for that (also the free will of others)
Waiting for some one else to make this happen is not going to make it a fact.
I don't believe we can have a better world WITHOUT free will.
Looks like they are mutually inclusive to me.

How could one enjoy Utopia as a mere animal driven by instincts?? And, how could one expect to reach heaven as a mere animal driven by instincts? Animals do not have eternal life.

Nope.
It would be nice, but not meaningful. It is like having children that stay children for life - there is no growth.
The plan is that we grow up and make Utopia ourselves. That we direct ourselves and take responsibility.

It couldnt be utopia if we didn't have free will.
Its about the most precious thing we have.

I cannot give up what does not exist.
Asking me to give up free will is like asking me to give up a two-sided mobius loop.

Free will doesn't exist - so yeah I have no problem with that.
