I found a small geopolitics style server that is semi vanilla on Java. It is run by the owner and it uses a bunch of in house made plugins to make everything feel like medieval times.
The world is a huge custom map and it is made to be super detailed and realistic like a real planets geography. The server is being redone right now and the goal is to end up with a more active community.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPMineRealm Classic SMP No Resets

MineRealm is a public SMP server that has been online since 2010 and a lot of players have joined over the years. It feels like a long term survival world with people who actually stick around.
The server keeps things legit with no pay to win and no item spawning. It stays close to vanilla but it also has a few custom plugin features meant to help the community and make survival last.
The map is smaller and it expands over time. New land generates in the latest Minecraft version so you still get updated terrain as the world grows.
Builds are meant to be safe here since the server uses a classic plot system and grief protection with CoreProtect. There are no world resets so what you build can stay for the long run and players have made the world without prefab hubs.
