I found this server called CompleteVanilla SMP and it is a fully vanilla survival world. It just started today so everyone is still early in the game and you do not feel super far behind.
The host is named Mabon and they want players who like playing with different kinds of Minecraft players. It is whitelist only so you have to apply before you can join which makes it feel a bit more safe.
The server also supports cracked accounts so more people can get in. It is on version 1.21.11 so it has the latest features from Minecraft right now.
If you want a simple vanilla smp with no extra stuff and a fresh start this server looks like a good place to join fast before everyone is stacked.

ElyriaMC is a small Minecraft network that is getting ready to open and it starts with a Survival server. The owners have been in the Minecraft community for over ten years and they have been both players and staff on different servers.
The server is meant to feel calm and fair for players and staff. The staff style here is not about power. The rules are meant to be clear and decisions are meant to be fair. Staff are trusted to use their own judgement and are not micromanaged. People can talk about concerns or disagreements without it turning into drama.
They want to build a small staff team before launch so the first weeks go smoothly. They want staff ready to answer questions help new players handle reports and keep the mood relaxed. It is about keeping the server stable instead of handing out random power.
Helpers are the starting role and they focus on helping players in chat answering questions and pointing out issues to mods. Moderators take more responsibility after trust is built and they handle reports and calm down conflicts. The whole idea is a chill Survival server with staff that actually care about long term gameplay and a healthy community.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPTiny Chill SMP With Big Events
This is a small survival server called HoneySMP and it feels super cozy. It is not a giant pay to win server. It is more like a long term world where the same people keep coming back.
The players want a real community. At spawn there is a community chest area where you can take what you need and leave what you do not. It helps new people get started so you are not stuck punching trees forever.
They run weekly events that sound fun like Elytra races and a custom event called Honey Heist. During events people hop in voice chat and just hang out and play together. It feels more like a group of friends than random strangers.
The server has some custom coded features. There is key forging where you can combine keys and try to upgrade them into better tiers instead of just opening boring crates. There is a player driven economy where you can sell stuff from your farms and run your own shop.
You can earn everything just by playing. Even ranks and keys are grindable so it stays fair and not pay to win.
The server supports both Java and Bedrock so you can play from PC console or mobile with your friends. If you want a place to build a huge base run a shop or just chill and talk this server is made for that.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSippyCup Vanilla SMP Hermitcraft Vibes

PeaMC is a simple survival server that feels like old Minecraft. There is no teleporting and no land claiming so you actually travel through the world and pick your own spot to live. It is meant to feel like singleplayer but with other people around you.
The server is crossplay so Java and Bedrock players can join together. You can also make teams and invite your friends so you do not have to play alone if you do not want to. PvP is allowed so you can fight other players but it is not total chaos.
The rules are pretty clear. No hacks or exploits and no harassment or slurs. You are not allowed to grief or steal so you cannot destroy bases or kill pets or steal items from other bases. Spawn killing is not allowed either. Destructive PvP like respawn anchors end crystals and minecart bombs is not allowed because it can wreck builds and that counts as griefing.
The community is described as chill and friendly and the owner and mods are active in game and on Discord. There are no annoying plugins in your face so it stays close to vanilla survival. You just survive travel build and make friends like the old days.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
