I found a small scale vanilla survival server that keeps it simple. It is for people who want Minecraft without a bunch of crazy mods.
The chat is not supposed to be full of constant spam and the rules are simple. The staff is said to not be abusive and redstone usage is not restricted.
The server is in the EU region. It runs on version 1.21.11 with Hard difficulty and a view distance of 10.

Altar SMP is a small Java survival world where people apply to join so it stays chill and serious.
It has a custom Altar plugin that adds strong altars around the map. Factions can fight over them to get buffs and advantages. It makes normal survival feel more strategic with alliances rivalries territory control and lore that happens on its own.
This is not an anarchy grief place. Griefing and random stealing are not allowed. PvP is allowed but cheating and exploit abuse are not. Claims and faction land are respected and the goal is a long term world with players who care about what they build.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPAfterflare SMP No Resets Semi Vanilla

MCVerse is a no reset survival place made for long builds and long breaks. It is built so you can leave for a while and not come back to your base wrecked. The vibe is slow and chill and there is no rush.

I found REGNUM and it feels like a world that is meant to last. It is Java 1.21.11 and it is long term survival with no map resets. It is pvp and it leans semi anarchic so you are not getting handheld.
The whole point is minimal laws and maximum consequences. Players handle most problems through deals and alliances or straight up fighting. Staff mainly steps in for basic boundaries so the server stays fair and people are not harassed.
It sits between vanilla survival and a more serious medieval politics server. People build castles and claim lordships then go to war and lay siege. There are tools for stuff like commanding undead armies and capturing enemies. Nights are harder and there are balanced quality of life plugins.
It is whitelist only and it sounds like a small group that wants more people. The vibe is competitive in game but still friendly outside of it.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPAtclan Bedrock SMP Season 1 Begins
