I found a survival SMP that is about 2 weeks old and it has a small active group with around 6 to 9 people on. It started after the old world ran for more than 3 years so everyone decided to restart fresh.
It is vanilla plus on fabric and you can still join with a normal vanilla client. The server has extra stuff that mostly helps gameplay like faster leaf decay terralith world generation dynmap claims mini blocks and heads gravestones and backups. There is also proximity voice chat but you need a mod if you want to use that.
They might make a central shopping district later and it will not use any currency mods. They also say they will never sell advantages or ask for money so it is just for fun.
