I found a Minecraft server called MinecraftOffline that runs lifesteal survival on version 1.21.11.
It is hosted in Europe and it is based in Finland so it should feel smooth for EU players. The world is meant to be truly permanent with no resets ever so your builds and progress can stick around.
It also uses custom plugins to change things up and it is running on strong hardware with NVMe SSDs ECC RAM and a 1 Gbit network.
