Haven SMP is a semi vanilla survival server that feels really calm and friendly. The world is still pretty new and the community wants it to last for a long time with no map resets.
It is regular survival and there are no game breaking plugins. There is a player made economy where people build shops and trade with each other so the server grows in a natural way.
There are no land claim plugins. Instead people agree to play peaceful and respect each other builds. The rules are strict about griefing stealing and harassment and the staff actually enforce them so it feels fair for everyone.
Java and Bedrock players can play together here. There is optional proximity voice chat so you can talk to people who are near you in game if you want more immersion and social play.
There are a few simple quality of life commands like sit spin and hat. When you die your items go into a grave for a short time so you have a chance to get them back.
This server is good if you are tired of anarchy and also tired of super locked down claim servers. It is focused on calm survival fair play and a real community where your builds and shops actually matter over time.

Bedrock Faction War Realm Recruiting
I found a Bedrock faction war realm that is getting ready to start soon.
They are recruiting up to 8 people or less so it sounds like a small group where everyone matters.
If you like faction fights and teaming up for war stuff this one is aiming right at that.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPRattata SMP Pure Vanilla Community
Rattata SMP is a new survival server that is trying to feel as close to vanilla as possible. It runs on Paper and it supports both Java and Bedrock players.

The server uses a whitelist and it has a live map. There is also an optional Simple Voice mod and Core Protect with /co i for looking into grief issues.

The Garden SMP is a Java 1.21.11 survival multiplayer server that is built around worldbuilding adventure and roleplay.
Everyone starts with 3 lives and the only way to lose them is through PvP. When you run out you become a ghost and you are past the veil. Players can bring someone back using a craftable revival book.
Some vanilla stuff is turned off to fit the roleplay like elytra and ender chests. It pushes people to build roads and ports and actually meet each other.
I also saw chest locking with trial keys plus lockpicks for breaking in. There are chest shops alcohol brewing pet taming for basically any mob and a bunch of QoL features.
When you join you wake up in the clouds then you jump down the Monolith to start. You can pick a race for your character then you wake on the docks of Isla De Viva Eterna and sail out to the mainlands to claim land or live in a town.
It sounds like a relaxed server with optional challenges no pay to win and staff that stays active with a small community.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPAdults Only Java SMP Fresh Season
