ArcticMC is a brand new SMP survival server that started just a couple days ago. It mixes Towny with factions so you can build a town then team up or fight over land.
PVP matters here but it is not meant to be toxic. They use an honor system and it gets explained in their rules on Discord.
It also has McMMO skills so you level up stuff like mining and combat while you play. They also have custom items and even furniture that is entity based and they plan to limit it per chunk to help with lag.
The world uses Tectonic generation so the terrain looks more realistic with big mountains and nice valleys. The community is meant to be calm and friendly so you can grind build or just hang out.

I found a Java SMP server that is based on Towny and it has an economy. The whole world is a custom United States map at 1 to 125 scale so traveling and picking a spot feels cool.
It is small but super active and it can hit around 40 players when it is busy with a 60 player cap. A lot of the mountains are still empty so there is tons of room to start a town and build it up.
There are different nations you can join and there are lots of places to choose from like Cascadia the desert Appalachia and the Great Lakes. The mods are really responsive to suggestions and feedback.
The nether just reset and the currency is gold so it feels like a good time to jump in. It runs on 1.21.7 or above and there is a live map you can use too.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPNew Dawn SMP Season Finale Adventure

Some vanilla stuff is turned off to help roleplay like no Elytra and no Ender chests. This makes travel and building roads and towns matter more and it pushes players to interact.

When you join you wake up above the clouds then you stick the landing and go down the Monolith to begin. You can pick a race for your character like elf halfling merfolk giant or human then you wake on the docks of Isla De Viva Eterna. From there you can sail to the mainlands and claim land or live in a town with others.

I found a Java survival server called JSMC that started because the owner got tired of the same friend group worlds dying after two weeks.
This one is meant to keep going even after the Ender Dragon. It has been on the same world for about 8 months with no wipes and no resets. The pace is slower and it does not lean on gimmicks.
