There are actually a few people that have been asking for a forge modded server ever since I started the vanilla server, because "vanilla too boring". We briefly tried a 1.12.2 modded server, and it was fun, but performance was awful. 1.16 forge with vivecraft is supposedly better on that front. However, another person who has been testing mods in 1.16 vivecraft says it's still super buggy, e.g. trying to go to the nether crashes the whole game, with just a few basic mods installed. It'd take some effort to curate a working (and reasonably balanced) modpack as you say.
