I found a normal survival SMP that keeps things mostly vanilla. The big twist is it uses a Ranked SMP plugin so you can play with that competitive vibe.
There are no safe zones and grief is allowed. You can basically do whatever you want as long as you follow the rules.
Also there can only be one mace on the whole server so people are going to fight over it and hunt for it hard.
The Ritual SMP is a competitive PvP survival server where the big goal is fighting and getting stronger without having to grind all day.
It has a custom plugin that lets you create legendary weapons at special altars that are spread around the world so you will be exploring and running into people.
There are also multiple custom events plus a bunch of quality of life plugins to make playing smoother.
The rules try to limit the kit so most players can fight with similar gear and it does not turn into who can grind the most.
You will need to get whitelisted by joining their Discord and posting your IGN in the whitelist channel.
SuitedUp SMP is a fresh survival multiplayer world that started its first season just a couple days ago so everything still feels new.
It stays vanilla style but the main vibe is PvP and raiding. There are a few extra features but nothing that feels crazy or overpowered.
You can make teams and you can silk touch spawners. There are no claims or territory systems so you have to play smart and protect your stuff.
They also want more active players especially a builder and maybe a couple mods so you can join and apply if that sounds like you.
DeadMans Land is a classic factions server where survival is all about being stronger and smarter than everyone else.

On this server players make rivalries and alliances and sometimes they betray each other. You can build a base and try to defend your land while other players plan raids and attacks. Every fight actually matters and you feel it when you win or lose.
There is no hand holding here. The server expects you to use your own skill your own brain and your own grind to get strong. It fits both solo warriors and players who like to be part of a tactical group.

DeadMans Land is a classic style factions server where survival is the main focus. It feels really intense because the whole idea is that only the strong survive and the ruthless players do the best.

This server is called Banana SMP and it is all about teams.
From what I can tell it is a lifesteal style server so when you fight other players it really matters. The owner also said lifesteal might get removed later so the server could change based on what players like.
The whole thing feels like a place where teams can form and battle and just see what happens. It is not super over explained so the community probably figures stuff out together while they play.
If you want a team based survival world with lifesteal vibes then this server is made for that kind of gameplay.
