I found a pair of modded servers that are running as a little host experiment. Both servers have the same specs and they are both in US West. They run on Ryzen 9900X or equivalent CPUs with 16GB RAM each and 32 slots. The worlds are pregenerated out to around 10k blocks in every direction.
There are two choices to play on. One server is All The Mods 10 on modpack version v5.4. The other server is Homestead A Cozy Survival Experience on modpack version v1.2.9.4.
There is no whitelist so you can just join. The area around spawn is claimed by the server to help stop big griefs. This experiment is planned to run about 2 months then the servers might close unless people really want them to stay. A world download may happen at the end if there is demand.
Two Modded Servers Host Experiment

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPNo Item Drops Survival Chaos

This server is really weird because items are not dropping at all. When you break stuff it just vanishes and it makes the game feel super hard.
From what I can see it is running Paper and only has a few plugins. It feels kind of like a test world where the owner is trying to figure out what is wrong.
If you like strange problems and trying to fix them this server is actually kind of interesting. You have to think about every block you break and you might need to help the owner find what is going on.
It is not a normal survival server but more like a challenge where you deal with no item drops and try to survive anyway.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCustom Pop Culture KitPVP Mayhem

This is a small KitPVP server that is all about crazy custom kits and goofy fights. The owner has been working on it with friends for like four years on and off and they keep making new kits based on stuff from shows and other pop culture.
The main goal is combat and testing wild ideas. A new kit can be made super fast but then they spend hours playtesting it so it actually feels cool to use. Some kits are probably overpowered on purpose and the whole thing feels kind of chaotic in a fun way.
There are kits like an Uchiha style kit that can summon fake players and phase through attacks and a Yoshikage Kira style kit that puts bombs on people and blows them up. There are also things like an ice mage kit a skulker type kit and a rocketeer kit along with a bunch more. In total there are around 36 custom made kits each with different strengths and weaknesses.
The server does not seem super sweaty. The owner literally says they are just bored and looking for players and they also say the maps look bad right now and they would love help building. So it feels more like a casual place to hang out try dumb combos and help test new ideas instead of a ranked hardcore server.
If you want a chill place to mess around with custom abilities and do fights that feel like random anime battles this server is pretty much that.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPEmberSteal SMP Heart And Power PvP

EmberSteal SMP is a server that mixes ideas from Lifesteal Strength SMP and Infuse SMP into one world.
When you kill a player you either steal one of their hearts or you steal one of their effect bundles. There is also a third special mechanic that is planned so fights are not just about gear but also about what you can take.
You can craft your own effect bundles and stack them. Eating the same bundle upgrades it from level 1 to 2 and then 2 to 3. All of this runs on custom datapack effects so it feels different from normal survival.
Progression feels fast but still balanced because almost everything can be stolen and drops as embers when you die. So nobody is ever totally safe and every fight matters.
The server is planned for Java and maybe Bedrock and there is simple voice chat so people can talk while they play or raid or test stuff. The owner is looking for people who want to join and help test the mechanics before and around the launch in mid December.
