Pulsar SMP is a vanilla survival server that feels competitive but still chill. It has a community driven vibe so you can jump in and find people to play with.
The staff setup looks solid with good moderation and no admin abuse. You have to apply and get whitelisted so it stays more controlled.
They run frequent events and competitions. There are also rewards for being the first to complete certain advancements so people actually race and grind.
It seems like there is room for pvp players builders and casual players too.
