I found a Minecraft server called MinecraftOffline that runs lifesteal survival on version 1.21.11.
It is hosted in Europe and it is based in Finland so it should feel smooth for EU players. The world is meant to be truly permanent with no resets ever so your builds and progress can stick around.
It also uses custom plugins to change things up and it is running on strong hardware with NVMe SSDs ECC RAM and a 1 Gbit network.

GlowSMP is a newly released Vanilla plus SMP that runs on 1.21 to 1.21.10 and supports both Java and Bedrock players. It is made for people who want to build grind or just chill with a community.
The server focuses on quality of life changes like voice chat and messages better harvesting chest sorting a gradient tool graves and a live map. Claims are enabled so you do not have to stress about griefing.
There is also custom fishing with new fish you can sell plus tracking and a leaderboard for top fishermen. You can find special enchantment books that help with building and gathering like chopping a whole tree at once or getting haste for mining.
Jobs are active for most actions so you earn experience and money without picking only a few jobs. There is also a centralized storage network you can build in your base where you link chests and search items from a terminal.
Everything is free to play and meant to stay that way. Vote ranks exist and unlock some extra things and there is an optional shop if you want convenience.

MCVerse is a long term survival server made for big projects and long breaks. The main survival world is permanent with a no reset goal so you can keep building without worrying about losing progress. It also focuses on no grief play and keeping your stuff safe.
The server keeps things close to vanilla with no custom items enchants or skills. You can grind the classic way or use player markets if you want. Ranks and perks are earned for free just by playing.
Chat is meant to stay clean with low tolerance for swearing and public chat staying mostly about Minecraft and gaming. The community is international and the ages range a lot. Events are player driven with admin support.
There are a few quality of life features like teleport options and builder tools like armor stands mini blocks and decorative heads. There is also a hardcore vanilla option plus a testing vanilla world that runs for 6 to 12 months and a creative plots server for experimenting. Versions listed include 1.21.10 1.21.11 and 1.21.8.

Foggy Willows is a survival server that sticks to real vanilla. It runs on the normal Minecraft server jar with no plugins and no datapacks so it feels like the actual game.
The spawn is not fancy and you do not have to read a long story to start playing. You can build what you want and play how you want. People are expected to handle their own social problems.
It is hard mode and there is no teleport or sethome stuff. The world has no border and the server stays on the latest stable vanilla version. There are no donations and it is self hosted on a purpose built machine.

I found a brand new OP Skyblock server called Legendary Skyblock and it is all about nonstop grinding and getting stronger.
It has chunk hoppers so you can automate collecting resources. It also has a spawner economy so mobs can turn into big profits.
You can upgrade your skills and keep leveling up. The whole idea is endless progression so your island can keep advancing with no limits.
