I found a super new Java SMP that is basically vanilla and only a few days old.
It has no major mods or plugins so it feels simple and normal survival.
Voice chat is encouraged but it is not required. There are around 15 people in the Discord and you can get whitelisted by dropping your ign after you join.

LuckyGem SMP is a fresh semi vanilla survival server where you can play on Java or Bedrock together. It feels like a new start with a fully custom spawn and lots of places meant for players to use like a shopping district and a nether hub.
The server runs weekly competitions so there is always something to do. The challenges can be stuff like building mining redstone and PvE. Winners get big prizes with rare items and server perks plus bragging rights.
There are custom features too like over 2000 custom advancements and cosmetic datapacks so your character and builds can look more unique. There are also staff collectibles you can gather and if you collect five you can move a spawner to your base.
The economy is player driven and diamond based so trading and running a shop is a big part of the server. The community looks active with a Discord for updates and finding people to play with and staff that listens to feedback.

PvP matters here but it is meant to stay fair since they use an Honor System that is explained in their rules.
It also has McMMO so you level up skills while you play and unlock abilities. There are custom items with recipes plus furniture you can sit on and they plan limits per chunk to help lag.
The world uses the Tectonic datapack so the terrain has huge mountains and nice valleys and lots of cool places to build and explore. The community vibe is relaxed and more chill than chaotic.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPChill Community Survival With Secret Events

I found a Minecraft community server that is mostly about hanging out and meeting people. It is meant to be long term and not super serious. The people are supposed to be fun and considerate and not too sensitive.
It starts off as survival for the first two days and the goal is making the world thrive with builds and little communities. After that the owner says there is a secret plan and it sounds like stuff is going to change. You can make teams but it sounds like they will not last.
This is not strict pvp even though you can fight and kill if it happens. It can get serious during events but the normal vibe is chill. They also want admins for both Minecraft and Discord.
