If you want a calm survival server that stays close to vanilla and has an SMP style this one might be good for you
PeaMC is a simple survival server that feels like old Minecraft. There is no teleporting and no land claiming so you actually travel through the world and pick your own spot to live. It is meant to feel like singleplayer but with other people around you.
The server is crossplay so Java and Bedrock players can join together. You can also make teams and invite your friends so you do not have to play alone if you do not want to. PvP is allowed so you can fight other players but it is not total chaos.
The rules are pretty clear. No hacks or exploits and no harassment or slurs. You are not allowed to grief or steal so you cannot destroy bases or kill pets or steal items from other bases. Spawn killing is not allowed either. Destructive PvP like respawn anchors end crystals and minecart bombs is not allowed because it can wreck builds and that counts as griefing.
The community is described as chill and friendly and the owner and mods are active in game and on Discord. There are no annoying plugins in your face so it stays close to vanilla survival. You just survive travel build and make friends like the old days.
This is a modded SMP called The Broken Script and it has around 150 mods so it feels pretty stacked.
You get a ton of tech mods like Create IE Mekanism and Actually Additions. There is CC Tweaked with Advanced Peripherals so you can do computer stuff. Ex Deorum is in here too so you can work through modded resources.
For food and farming there is Farmers Delight with a lot of addons and some Lets Do style mods. There is Mystical Agriculture and Botany Pots so you can grow a lot of resources in a more automated way.
If you like fighting and magic there is Cataclysm and Irons Spellbooks plus some addons. There is also The Undergarden and a pack called Codmod so you get some extra places and content without totally breaking normal Minecraft.
The server keeps normal Minecraft world generation. There are almost no biome mods or heavy worldgen mods. Anything that edits worldgen is more like vanilla plus instead of completely crazy.
The rules are really strict. There are only two rules and breaking either one is an instant permaban. The owner expects you to read the whole verification message and does not accept I did not know as a reason to appeal.
Overall it feels like a modpack where you get huge tech and magic power but still play in a pretty normal Minecraft world.
The Eternal Region is a vanilla plus survival server that is starting its third season. It is a community run world on a fabric server and the staff team seems active and organized. The server is made for players who want a simple survival experience but with some extra features.

Rave SMP is a very new Minecraft survival server so everyone starts together and no one is super ahead.
It is kind of on the anarchy side so war and chaos can happen but you can also play peaceful if you want. The world has a 15k by 15k overworld border and there is a good seed so there is a lot to explore and build in.
The server runs 24 7 on a host in Singapore. It has some plugins and one of the main ones is Simple Voice Chat so you can use proximity voice and talk to people who are near you in game. There are fun plugins and at least one or two events every month. Some events are made by admins and some can be made by players.

The community is active and there are always people around to talk to or team up with so it does not feel empty at all.
This server is called Banana SMP and it is all about teams.
From what I can tell it is a lifesteal style server so when you fight other players it really matters. The owner also said lifesteal might get removed later so the server could change based on what players like.
The whole thing feels like a place where teams can form and battle and just see what happens. It is not super over explained so the community probably figures stuff out together while they play.
If you want a team based survival world with lifesteal vibes then this server is made for that kind of gameplay.
