Is there anything wrong with bringing the service entrance buried 2 feet underground in conduit to the opposite side of the house where the meter is mounted on an exterior wall? House is built on pilings and crawlspace is unusable.

That is up to the utility company. Below the house is not considered inside the house so OK per NEC. Your electric company may have a different view and if you ever have trouble in the future, you are screwed.

Utility here would never allow that. Customer ability to access unmetered conductors is frowned upon.
