I found a server called HermitLike that is starting Season Two and it feels like a HermitCraft inspired SMP. It is only about two weeks old so it is still early game and a lot of people are already active.
It runs on 1.21.11 and it supports crossplay so Java and Bedrock players can be in the same world. That means PC and consoles can play together.
The server stays mainly vanilla with just a few quality of life and moderation plugins. There are no teleports and no warps and no towny style stuff and no land claiming.
They say it is no pay to win with no voting and no crates. The rules are peaceful with no PvP and no stealing and no griefing so your builds and items are meant to stay safe.
There is a starting village at spawn that you can join and later there will be a communal shopping district. They also have an online live map and a staff team watching for trouble and helping people settle in. They also do events and the discord is active.
