Read the Rsync docs to understand how the filters work. Only the first 2 filters in your list are getting used since they match everything. After Rsync finds a match it will ignore the remaining filters in the list.

Yes, I want only the first 2 filter to be used, but with /** I dont get only empy ".config" and "1_utility" folders, they are ignored. I do want only .config and 1_Utility folder, but both empty.
