I found 1fighter2defenders and it is a survival server that tries to stay as vanilla as possible.
There are no gameplay rules at all. No land claims and no protection so you can get griefed or you can grief back. Building cheating and everything else goes.
They also say there are no server sided dupes and there are no world resets. The server started in April 2021 so it has been around for over 4.5 years with lots of players showing up at least once.
It runs on 1.21 and you can join on versions 1.17 through 1.21.11.

Eventide SMP Whitelist Survival Fun
Eventide SMP is a brand new Minecraft server that just launched. It is cross platform and it sticks close to survival with only a few quality of life plugins.
The server is whitelisted so you have to apply to get in. It is meant for mature and respectful players who want a long term world and a real community.
It also runs fun events and has a player driven economy that feels like Hermitcraft. The whole place is built on trust so people can focus on playing and building together.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPNEW JAVA FACTIONS PVP REALM RECRUITING
Factions war serverlimited slots serverPlayer rivalry focusedPrelaunch player queuevanilla combat feel
I found a small factions PVP realm that only supports Java. It is not open yet and it will start when the player cap is filled.
The max is 10 players so it is going to feel intense and personal. You join by sharing your Minecraft name in their Discord so you can get added.
Discord voice chat is allowed so you can talk with other players while you play. They want English only and it sounds most convenient for players in the European time zone.
When the realm starts everyone will go their separate ways unless you are in a faction. You can post content and they want you to read the rules in Discord.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPLumenor SMP Custom Vanilla With Choices
Lumenor SMP is a 24 7 custom vanilla survival server on 1.21.11 and it also lets newer versions join with ViaVersion.
It works for Java Bedrock and even cracked clients so a lot of different players can hop on.
The coolest part is the role system where you pick Passive if you want chill life or PvP if you want chaos. It lets both types of players exist on the same server without it feeling pointless.
The world has custom biomes and huge structures like ancient temples so exploration feels worth it. There are powerful rewards to find while you roam around.
There is a player driven trading shop that feels more like villager style trading and not some economy store. You can also practice in PvP and Passive arenas and keep inventory is enabled only in the arenas.
There are custom armor trims that give small buffs and the Nether is custom and very challenging. They also say the server has strong anti cheat to keep things fair and it is hosted in Germany with staff from a bunch of countries.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSmall Semi Vanilla SMP Starting Soon
I found a small semi vanilla SMP that is in testing right now.
They said the real start is in about a week so it feels like a good time to get ready and join early.
It is meant to be simple survival with a semi vanilla style and a small group vibe.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPChill Whitelisted Vanilla SMP 1.21.3
This is a whitelisted vanilla survival SMP on 1.21.3 with a chill small community feel. It has a few tiny quality of life plugins but it still plays like vanilla.
The rules are light and the vibe is relaxed and casual. Griefing builds is not allowed but PvP is allowed and meant to be fair.
The goal is a tight knit group where people build explore and just hang out. New features might get added later if the community wants them.
The world border is set to 10k for now. All ages are welcome. The server is hosted in Germany.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
