I found MinedHype SMP and it is a friendly long term public survival server that has been around for years with the same owner. It is on Minecraft 1.21.11 and it aims for a mostly vanilla kind of survival.
There is no whitelist and it says no pay to win. There is also no money economy plugin so shops are run by players with item trades instead.
Grief protection is done with claims and grief is allowed if a spot is not claimed. They also use CoreProtect to help with problems.
The Overworld and Nether are meant to never reset. There is no set world border or even a set spawn and players spawn randomly within the first 40k blocks. You can use /rtp to get a random spot and then set a /home.
It supports Bedrock and Java cross play and it has a web based live map. There are free events with prizes and a public shopping district you can teleport to with /tpshop.

North Survival is a semi vanilla server that feels simple but still has some helpful features. It is not overloaded with crazy plugins so you still get that normal Minecraft feeling but a bit smoother.
You can use villagers with easy clicking so trading and managing stuff is faster. There is RTP so you can find a building spot right away without walking forever. You can use TPA to teleport and play with your friends which makes it easier to stick together.
The server has a custom UI and a protected spawn so new players do not get messed with right away. It also runs on version 1.21.4 and supports all 1.21 clients so it is updated to the newest stuff.
From what I can see the performance is stable so it does not lag a lot and it seems focused on survival with PvP so you can build but also fight if you want.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
