I found a vanilla plus SMP made for people who are 30 and up. It is for gamers who want a chill place and do not want to deal with random kids online. The community is small but active with about a dozen people.
The world is about two months old and it is on 1.21.11. It has quality of life mods like Animal Pens Comforts Gravestones and Storage Drawers. There are already some awesome builds and there is still lots of space to make your own stuff.

GOOMB SMP is a vanilla survival server running in an amplified world. The world reset about two months ago and lots of people have been joining and starting new bases.
At first the border made players build close together but now the border has expanded so there is way more room for big plans. The End is open too and players kicked off an egg hunt event so people can meet up and interact.
The community feels really active with shops being advertised and people sharing terrain screenshots. Players talk about deals and trades a lot and voice chats are often full of people hanging out and planning builds.
The rules are strict about being respectful and keeping things chill. No racism or hate speech and no NSFW. No griefing no stealing and no unconsented PvP. You also have to apply and get approved before you can be whitelisted.

This is a small cross play SMP that runs modded gameplay without making you download anything. The mods are server sided and picked by hand so it still feels like normal Minecraft but with better world generation and a bunch of quality of life stuff that should have been in the game already. There is also more of an endgame to work toward.
The server tries hard to avoid the usual multiplayer junk like microtransactions crates ranks and economy stuff. It is meant to feel simple and real not like a store.
The community is small but active and the Discord stays alive even when people take breaks. The mod team and the core players are known for being helpful.
