HillsideMC is a semi vanilla survival server that uses quality of life plugins but still feels like normal Minecraft. It has been running for about six months and the owner keeps it updated.
The server does regular End wipes about once a month so there are always fresh end cities to explore. It is made for Java players right now. Bedrock support is planned but not ready yet.
The whole place feels like a simple SMP where you can just hop on and play. There is no crazy mod pack stuff. It is mostly normal survival with a few tweaks to make life easier. If you want a chill server that is not brand new and actually gets updates this one seems pretty good.

PeaMC Classic Pure Survival

PeaMC is a pure survival server that feels like old school Minecraft. When I joined it looked and played like classic survival with no crazy plugins in your face. You just join and start surviving.
There is no teleporting at all so you actually have to walk or sail or ride to get around. It makes the world feel big and adventures feel more real. There are no land claims so building feels like singleplayer. You just pick a spot and build.
The server is vanilla style so there are no plugins that change how survival works. You can make teams and invite your friends so you are not alone. PvP is allowed so you can fight other players if you want.
The rules are pretty strict about being respectful. Hacks and exploits are not allowed. Harassment and slurs are not allowed either. Griefing and stealing are banned so you cannot destroy bases kill pets or take items from other bases. Spawn killing is also not allowed.
They also ban destructive PvP like using respawn anchors end crystals and minecarts to blow up builds. That counts as griefing so they tell people to avoid it. The owner and mods are active in the game and on Discord and the community feels chill and friendly.
PeaMC supports both Java and Bedrock from 1.7x up to 1.21.11 so it is easy to join from most versions.

I found this server called Anarchy Network and it is a semi anarchy world that tries to feel like real vanilla survival with barely any rules. It started in October 2024 and the world is not getting reset so everything you build or destroy stays there.
You can join on Java from old 1.7.2 up to 1.21.10 but the owner says 1.21.10 is best so stuff does not break. The world border is huge at 2 million blocks so people can go super far and hide bases.
On this server griefing and pvp are fully allowed. There is no pay to win and there is no teleporting to players or homes. The only real command you get that is not vanilla is slash spawn so people far away can still come back to other players. You can go on the nether roof and there are no phantoms and only half the people online are needed to skip night.
Even though it is semi anarchy there are a few rules. You cannot use exploits or dupes. You cannot make lag machines or spam chat. You also cannot harass people with racial slurs. Besides that it is pretty much do what you want survival with danger everywhere.
