I found a modded server called SBINC that is starting its first season and it is all about a big story on infinite islands.
The vibe is inspired by QSMP and OSMP and you pick a side. You can join as an employee and try to rise the ranks in the company. Or you can be an investigator and try to take the corrupt company down.
There are four top members called the overseers and they act like gods of the land you are trapped in. The post also says the overseers are not even your biggest problem so it sounds like more secrets are coming.
You have to apply to play and there is also an egg application with only five spots.

I found Fools Ambrosia and it is a small modded server that is really big on story. The world is about mortals and immortals and how worship made gods survive. Wars happened and new gods rose up and almost everything fell apart except for four gods who made something new which is you.
This server goes roleplay first and gameplay second. They do scheduled events for different timezones and some are chill and some are heavy on lore. Events can be made by players or by admins and they really want everyone to get a chance to matter in the story.
It runs a lightweight Neoforge modpack with around 160 mods and it is meant to work on weak computers too. They also talk about a custom built server backend and an admin team that stays active and keeps improving things. The mod list includes Origins with 16 choices and Biomancy 2 for the weird flesh stuff.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCorruption SMP Small Vanilla Lore

Corruption SMP is a very vanilla SMP and it is not a big network server. It feels more like a small friend group world where people actually know each other.
They keep the server small with a member cap under 40. A big thing here is recording videos so there are times when they need more players to show up and help.
If you want to join as a real member you have to apply first with a written application. They want you to talk about how you would add lore to the SMP so the story can grow.
If you do not want to be a member you can still join in as an extra actor for videos and just play along.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
