Hi Peter,
for me, this is a very interesting question raised by you about using
Moodle in the Wikimedia movement.
I would also love to hear more about experiences.
One thing I would like to share in this context is this presentation from
Doug Belshaw at the MoodleMoot conference
<https://moodlemoot.org/mootieuk19/> in London this year in April.
He is talking about how they want to enlarge Moodle as a social network.
Maybe this is intersting:

The Geneva (Switzerland) education department has been
using Moodle for
years and is quite satisfied with the platform. A few films were produced
on the subject:

That been said, Moodle is great for online courses with a Classroom size
number of attendees. That is probably fine for us, I do not think that we
will have hundreds and hundreds of simultaneous participants. I do have not
any personal experience with a Moodle course addressing thousands of
attendees.
Best regards
Gabe
