EchelonMC is a hand built survival server that was made from scratch and kept in active development. It is hosted in Canada and it has had about two months of work put into it so far. The owner builds it around player suggestions and over 100 of those ideas are already in.
This server is for long term building and real progression. It is not pay to win and the world is not planned to reset. It also is not trying to be a recycled server with copy paste systems.
There are custom coded systems like a currency you earn by just playing. Mining farming fishing exploring and building all help you earn it and you can spend it on progression and quality of life stuff.
Land claiming is a big deal here with visual borders and lots of settings. It can help stop raids and protect builds with controls for TNT creepers fire fluids and even mob spawning. You can also do things like chunk settings claim decay and claim bundling for big projects.
You can make teams and use private team chat. You can also list public builds so other players can visit and vote. Graves are included too so your items are protected for a limited time with balanced recovery.

I found a Forge 1.20.1 SMP called Creativity SMP. It is a survival server where you can build megafarms as big as you want as long as they do not lag the server. They say the server is really strong so it can handle a lot.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPMoshPit SMP No Claims PvP Economy

I found MoshPit SMP and it feels like survival with a vanilla vibe but with more action. It is made to be fun without turning into a total mess and the owner is still working on it and changing things based on what players want.
There are no land claims so you can build anywhere and raid anywhere. It supports both Java and Bedrock players so friends can join even if they are on different editions.
The server has an economy with player shops and an auction house. There are duels too if you want to try to make quick cash. It also has custom enchants that are meant to stay balanced like 3×3 drills and lifesteal.
The terrain is custom but it still looks like it belongs in normal Minecraft. PvE gets harder the farther out you go and there are random world events every 30 minutes that can help or hurt or just be weird. It was tested on low end PCs so it should run fine for most people.

I found a Java SMP server that is based on Towny and it has an economy. The whole world is a custom United States map at 1 to 125 scale so traveling and picking a spot feels cool.
It is small but super active and it can hit around 40 players when it is busy with a 60 player cap. A lot of the mountains are still empty so there is tons of room to start a town and build it up.
There are different nations you can join and there are lots of places to choose from like Cascadia the desert Appalachia and the Great Lakes. The mods are really responsive to suggestions and feedback.
The nether just reset and the currency is gold so it feels like a good time to jump in. It runs on 1.21.7 or above and there is a live map you can use too.
