The purpose of the experimental service bits is experiments. If the details of utreexo aren't nailed down and may change, an experimental service bit makes sense.

Bit 24 is fine and AFAIK unused at the moment; full-rbf is using bit 26: https://github.com/petertodd/bitcoin/commit/c15b8d70778238abfa751e4216a97140be6369af#diff-8e2ffc8fe0e0847a6aac311a93b2faeebd2d76ddb2c81741bb8cf7448287807eR297

There are plans to release binaries for the utreexo node (github.com/utreexo/utreexod) in the next few months so that power users can try it out. I have no plans to release binaries for mainnet yet.
