Well it's utopian on roughly the same level the Federation in Star Trek is. A 100% full utopia with absolutely no problems would make for a pretty boring book or TV series.
What I like more about The Culture is the author really tried to imagine how the social structure of such an advanced society would look like while Star Trek is basically an idealized version of the US but in space.
