Do you not think its a good idea to have a larger perceived raising range in EP than AK, QQ+? I don't think raising with hands like KQ and AJ UTG is a -EV play, I think, if you are smart enough to lay down in dominated situations (kicks self in head), then you win the blinds and cbets off missed sets enough to a LEAST make a neutral EV play. But I think you gain significant value when you raise AA/KK UTG if you have a greater perceived UTG raising range than AA/KK.
I will raise UTG with suited connectors and small pocket pairs occasionally to "mix it up", but NEVER with AJo. That just sucks. Why do you want to be OOP with a dominated hand? Even at 2000nl I'm sure an UTG raise gets a lot of respect, and AA/KK/QQ/AK make up a big part of a typical player's range.
