Not that I know. From what I've seen, Moodle is usually provided by
local partner institutions such as universities.
For the same reason, Wikimedia Italia at some point was planning to use
OpenEdx, because that's what our partner university was using. Our
feeling was that it's better to ride on the critical mass and teaching
experience of an existing entity at least for a few years, but others
may have different experiences.
I'm not sure this answers your question. Are you looking for a Moodle
instance to use for a teaching project of yours?

Did this prove impossible? I need mediacounts data on a Labs server now,
and it would take days do download from dumps.wikimedia.org.

I still have trouble understanding what's the point of making
functionality worse for a majority of users, or indeed all of them.
I've just tried exporting single pages with the "download PDF" link (the
metadata says they're made by "Chromium") and they're completely
unreadable, with overlapping characters and so on. They're considerably
worse even than the PDF produced by a stock browser from the printable
version (Firefox 56 here).
Even if the previous functionality happened to error out 95 % of the
time, it would be better than the present situation.
