While moir\'e phenomena have been extensively studied in low-carrier-density systems such as graphene and semiconductors, their implications for metallic systems with large Fermi surfaces remain largely unexplored. Using GPU-accelerated large-scale ab-initio quantum transport simulations, we investigate spin transport in two distinct platforms: twisted bilayer MoTe2 (semiconductor, from lightly to heavily doping) and NbX2 (X = S, Se; metals). In twisted MoTe2, the spin Hall conductivity (SHC) evolves from 44πe at 5.09∘ to 104πe at 1.89∘, driven by the emergence of multiple isolated Chern bands. Remarkably, in heavily doped metallic regimes--without isolated Chern bands--we observe a universal amplification of the spin Hall effect from Fermi surface reconstruction under long-wavelength potential, with the peak SHC tripling from 64πe at 5.09∘ to 174πe at 3.89∘. For prototypical moir\'e metals like twisted NbX2, we identify a record SHC of −174πe (-5200 (ℏ/e)S/cm in 3D units), surpassing all known bulk materials. These results establish moir\'e engineering as a powerful strategy for enhancing spin-dependent transport, and advancing ab-initio methodologies to bridge atomic-scale precision with device-scale predictions in transport simulations.
