So just gonna come out and say it.
If a server doesn't mention hacks, its obvious to assume its banned.

No one, and i mean no one, will be able to convince me that there is a genuine reason for wanting to use a hacked client on a small community server. It's a free hosted server, which people are required to fill out a form to join.

If you feel you need some quality of life mods to play vanilla, install them yourself to prevent anything bad happening. I for one use a resource pack to make water clearer and less dark (i have Thalassophobia, fear of deep water, which triggers when playing videogames) I am obviously not installing chest esp to do this though.
You cannot tell me you used chest esp for a customizable HUD, or that your ears are incredibly accurate at finding spawners.

Just don't hack, its pretty bloody simple!

If you're looking for a community PMC SMP to not hack, come apply for Neria smp! Ren SMP
