Back2Basics SMP is a community driven semi vanilla survival server that tries to keep things fair and simple. It started in December 2023 and it is under new ownership by Theyseemelol1ng.
It has lightweight custom plugins that keep the vanilla vibe but add some quality of life stuff. You keep your inventory when you die and you can use random teleport to find a new spot fast.
Griefing is not the vibe here since there is a custom land claiming system. You claim with a command and you can view your claims and see the borders.
The server has a player economy with in game currency so people can buy sell and trade. There is also a cosmetic store and rewards you can earn by playing plus a monthly voting competition.
They run weekend events like build battles staff hunts and quests on Saturdays and Sundays. The staff and community are active and they say it is newbie friendly.
You can join on versions 1.9 through 1.21+ and 1.21+ is recommended.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPEurope Politics SMP Power Wars
I found this political survival server running on 1.21.1 and it uses a full Europe map. The whole point is player conflict and power and control and it feels like a world that changes fast.
There is no scripted roleplay and there are no admin made nations. Players make the nations and cities and empires and players can also destroy them.
People fight real wars for land and resources and dominance. You can try diplomacy or alliances or straight up betrayal and propaganda. You can build capitals and borders and big fortifications then try to control trade routes and the economy.
It is vanilla plus with no modpacks and no hand holding. It also has extra systems like alcohol and social mechanics. If you show up early and organize you can actually run things.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSurvive Thrive SMP 17+ Vanilla Plus

This server is a Hardcore Plus survival world that stays really close to vanilla. There are no teleport commands and block damage is fully on so fire spreads and creepers can wreck stuff. Stealing and griefing are still not allowed so it is not anarchy.
The big twist is the health system. Every time you die you lose one heart until you hit a minimum of 3 hearts. You can craft a Heart Crystal using an echo shard and a diamond block to get one heart back. You can even go past 10 hearts up to 20 hearts with temporary hearts that get eaten first when you take damage.
It has quality of life plugins like 50 percent sleep player and mob heads armor stand tools and stat leaderboards. There is optional proximity voice chat and cross chat between in game and Discord.
