Dont use utilities, its dead, use the runtime package and loadRemote etc

[krau5]

@ScriptedAlchemy could it be a good idea to add some workaround/examples for loading the exact module via loadRemote? It seems, that documentation is not that clear for everyone. I am using the module from the remote entry, which I am currently loading via importRemote. However, I have not figured out how to use the loadRemote for my case, and I have not found any examples on github as well.

[ScriptedAlchemy]

the module federation website shows examples of the runtime. Also dynamic remote or advanced api should as well in examples repo.
