I found a server that is already running and it is trying to avoid that same old problem where people get stacked too fast and everyone quits. This one is a 1.21.11 Fabric semi anarchy server with light quality of life mods. It says it is not pay to win and nothing is game breaking.
The big moment is the Nether opening at 3:00 PM UTC. That is when the rush starts for quartz and nether gold and ancient debris. The world is still fresh so it feels like you are not late and there are no unstoppable empires yet.
They also say there are in game rewards plus community events and invite rewards. The server is being developed for the long term and not just a one week hype thing.

This is a fresh survival server made for people tired of joining late and seeing everyone already stacked. The world is still new so there are no huge empires yet and no untouchable players.
It runs on 1.21.11 Fabric and it is semi anarchy with light mods. Nothing wild. Just small quality of life stuff to keep things smooth and the rest is part of the game.
There are places to explore and loot to restore and secrets hidden behind doors. They also do in game rewards plus community events and invite rewards. The server is being actively developed and the goal is to keep it going long term.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPANCIENT ECHOES 18+ SMP END THE END
Ancient Echoes is an 18+ Minecraft Java SMP that runs on Fabric and uses a whitelist. It feels like one of those servers where people actually talk and do stuff together instead of playing alone.
Right now the server is doing a big End the End event where everyone is clearing out the End. The goal is to wipe it out and then build a brand new gothic End city together as a server project.
There are custom textures and hats and there is also a community jukebox with custom audio. People take turns being the DJ so the server can chill and vibe.
They run frequent community events with combat and non combat nights and also hangout style events. Sometimes they do short week phase spin off modes on a separate server.
There is a new Nether highway and portal network. Staff are also working on an Easter Island zone with boss fights and events that are not about fighting.
They also do seasonal events like Easter Halloween and Christmas and the main idea is a server that stays active with building planning and voice chat.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
