I found Olympus SMP and it is a survival server that keeps the classic vanilla feel while still having some unique mods like Stellarity that makes exploring more interesting.
The server has a growing active player base and the vibe seems friendly. Staff is around and they aim for fair gameplay so it does not feel scummy.
People build big bases run a player driven economy and go on adventures together. They also do community events and challenges so there is usually something going on.
It supports both cracked and premium players so more people can join in.

Foggy Willows is a server I found that is going for real vanilla survival. It runs on the normal minecraft server jar with no plugins and no datapacks so it plays like the game is supposed to.
The spawn is not some huge confusing hub. You just get in and play. It is hard mode and there is no tp or sethome so travel matters and you have to plan stuff.
People are expected to handle their own social problems. You can play how you want and build what you want. Technical players are welcome too.
The world has no border and it stays on the latest stable vanilla jar. There are no donations and it is self hosted on a purpose built machine. Java only and it has a Discord.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPFoggy Willows True Vanilla Survival
