You are probably right about that.

Vanilla servers are out there..

Emerald Dream
Valkyrie
Rebirth

i recall seeing a youtbe video of a guy doing work on a BC era private server. he compared a typical private server to live, then compared his work to live. his was much closer.

typical private servers just pepper merbs through dungeons and 'get close.' this particular one had all the patrols, ever mob was the correct type, boss encounters scripted properly. whole 9 yards.

I have been messing around on some private servers lately, Excalibur wow seems to be the only somewhat popular TBC server without crazy exp rates, its only 2x and claims to have all the scripts working properly, I haven't gotten high enough level to know for sure.

Really though, if you feel like playing TBC wow and come across a server that looks like it has potential you should give it a shot. Sitting around and thinking about all the things that may or may not be perfect in relation to retail will turn you into one of the guys that sat on the EQClassic forums for 5 years refusing to play P99 and missing out on a hell of a lot of fun...only to see their dream of a "perfect" recreation crushed before it was even released.
