Planets[1] is still going and there's a maintained site with updated rules and quite a few people playing at planets.nu

Alas, Planets.nu has no source code available. That's OK if you just want to play, but I really always wanted to make some changes, and to self-host (like you kinda could in the original vga planets)

The UI and server are relatively simple though, so it should be a fun exercise to vibe-code a clone based on phost and openplanets.
