I found a semi vanilla SMP called Astro SMP and it is trying to grow. It started with about 8 players and they want more people to join.
They are looking for 2 more moderators and they want to hit 20 players online at the same time. It feels like a small community server where people just play survival together and try to make it bigger.

Farmlands SMP is a cozy survival server with a small community feel. It is whitelisted and made for players who like to take their time and play without pressure.
The main world is meant to last so big builds farms and long term projects feel worth it. You can settle in and keep working on ideas over time.
There is also a separate resource world that resets regularly. This means you can gather materials without messing up the place where everyone lives.
The server is strict about no griefing no stealing and no toxicity. It stays close to vanilla with a few quality of life features and a custom advancement pack for extra challenges.
The economy is player driven so you can trade or open a shop. There are no ranks and no pay to win stuff so effort is what matters.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPGavins Vanilla SMP Small Community
I found a self hosted Vanilla SMP that is all about normal survival on Java 1.21.10.
It has a world map you can use and besides that it stays completely vanilla.
They are trying to keep it as a small community and they also want operators to help it grow. It runs on an old desktop that has been up for a long time so it is meant to stay online.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
