What are some of the most useful utility spells to have on hand in the form of spell scrolls?
I usually keep scrolls on my casters, and refill them as I use it, some that I like to have:
Revealing Light/Seen the Unseen: On most campaigns invisible creatures don't appear as often to have it in the repertoire/prepared, but when they appear they are annoying, so I keep a scroll or two of those spells and refill them after use.
Water Walk, Warter Breathing, Cleanse Air: As well other spells that depends of the environment, if you are on like a Pirate campaign then it might be better to just have the spells instead of scrolls.

See the Unseen
Revealing Light
Fly
Magic Passage
Teleport
Alarm
Water Breathing
Water Walking
Darkvision if your group doesn't have.
Restoration
Airlift has some neat utility as a single movement Fly spell but for your entire party.
Definitely Water walk/Water breathing. You rarely need them, but when it comes up they are huge. If you're in a water heavy campaign, learn them instead.
I enjoy stuff like Helpful Steps and Sonata Span if you have people in the party that are lacking in skills for overcoming physical terrain challenges, since "I pull out a scroll and a giant staircase appears" is a fun way to solve those problems.
Earthbind
Jump
Knock
are some of my favorites.

Ravenous Portal. It is never worth preparing, but when the opportunity comes up to use it, it's hilarious.
Sonata Span can be handy early before flight becomes cheap to access.
Safe Passage can help mitigate damaging areas and the +2 to saves is always handy.
Soothing Spring is one of the few ways to heal fatigue outside of resting a full night.
Cleanse Air can completely negate some spells and monster abilities, similar to Life Bubble from 1E.
