Are "vanilla"-like survival servers still a thing?

I know this may sound annoying to most folks here, but I truly miss the three-lives slaughter servers that Skulltag/Zandronum used to host. I remember servers with 8-10 people trying to run through Chillax and Slaughterfest 2012 for hours. I met a ton of great people and spent most of the time chit-chatting while watching Ancalagon burn through hordes after hordes of monsters with nothing but a rocket launcher. I also liked the strategy involved, making sure everyone was placed correctly upon hitting a switch, conserving health and ammo, and the teamwork required for beating the maps.
Not to be condescending, but all I see now is just Complex LCA servers that bombard you with earrape explosions and corpses/gore littering the entire map so much that you can't even figure out what is going on. I understand that a lot of people like that, but is that all the Zandronum community is into? I don't see any populated servers that aren't using RGA, Brutal Doom, Complex Doom, etc. I'm sure they exist but it's just odd that it completely died off. I can't be the only one who feels this way.
I may look into some server hosting and try to get my own going. I'm not very good with the tech-side of Doom but I'm sure I could figure it out in time.
