I found a whitelisted survival server made for adults who have busy lives but still want a steady place to build with friends. Most players are in the 30 to 40 plus range and it is a 21 plus community.
It is pure vanilla gameplay on Hard difficulty. The vibe is peaceful with no PVP and no griefing. It feels like a relaxed place where people help each other and let you do your own thing.
The best part is there are no server resets so your builds and items will still be there when you come back after a break. The server is US based privately owned and they say it is lag free and has been running for almost two years.
It runs on Java 1.21.11 and the rules sound simple with no weird stuff.

This is a little minecraft server someone is trying to start and it just does not want to run even after accepting the EULA.
It is basically in testing mode right now. The owner is messing with files and trying for hours to make it start. So it feels like a place for people who like to figure things out and help fix problems.
If you like messing with server setups and reading errors and trying again this is the kind of project server you would probably enjoy watching or helping with.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPDayLightSMP Lifesteal Survival PvP
DayLightSMP is a lifesteal survival server where every fight actually matters. When you beat other players you steal their hearts and when you lose you get closer to death for real. It makes PvP feel way more intense and risky.
The world is built for exploring and building. There is no land claim system so you have to be smart about where and how you build your base. You can use random teleport to find new places and start your own little kingdom or hideout.
The server has a grind based economy that feels fair. You earn money by playing and trading with other players instead of buying overpowered stuff. It is not pay to win so everyone has a real chance to get strong if they put in the time.
PvP is managed so fights are smooth and not just random griefing. It keeps battles fun while still letting people play aggressive if they want. Proximity voice chat makes it even cooler because you can talk to nearby players in game. You can make alliances negotiate trades or trash talk enemies while you fight or explore.
The staff team is active and helpful and they try to keep the server fair for everyone. The server runs on 1.20 and it lets people join from older versions too so most players can connect without problems.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
