I found FallenSMP and it is a 1.21.11 Java survival server that lets cracked players join too.
The server is up 24 7 and the owner says an alt keeps it running so it should not shut down in the middle of a big fight.
There are basically no rules except no hacking. It is mostly vanilla with voice chat and a few other plugins.
The main thing is the seasons system. Each season the first person to kill everyone at least once then kill the Ender Dragon and get the egg gets a prize. They can pick items with limits on enchants or they can take a 5 minute head start next season.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPBELAIR Arenas Custom Enchants Ranked Battles

BELAIR is an EU server built around PvP and PvE inside two arenas. There is a casual arena where you can practice and chill with equal loadout tiers and enchantments. There is also a competitive arena where you risk more and win more and where the top players try to climb.
The big thing here is custom enchantments. Some are passive and some are event based and some work in an area and some you cast yourself. You can mix different enchantments to make a build with real strengths and drawbacks so your fighting style actually matters.
The server runs seasons with a leaderboard and ranked so it stays competitive. There are also periodic events like bosses and treasures so the arena does not feel the same every day.
Progression comes from quests and collections and the economy. The main currency is SHARDs which you get from PvP and PvE and crates and by dismantling enchanted items and artifacts. You use SHARDs for shop stuff like crate keys and extra virtual chests and merging enchanted items plus trade taxes and repairing netherite.
Netherite gear has custom durability that drops when you get kills in PvP or PvE. If it hits zero the item gets destroyed so you have to manage repairs with SHARDs.
