Utumno is supposed to be a challenging place, a difficult place. It serves a purpose in the mod; yes, as a representation of a story element from the Legendarium, but - as this is an adaptation - it must first and foremost serve a purpose as a gameplay element.

Here comes the old debate of lore accuracy vs. gameplay experience... While it might make the mod more 'lore-accurate' if we vastly decreased the spawnrates in Utumno, removed much of its structure, and removed the overground entrance, I think we can all agree that the experience of actually playing the mod would suffer as a result.
