Maybe.

header_filter_rules are checked before list membership and
*_these_nonmembers. You could rearrange the pipeline to put Moderate
before SpamDetect, but that would have undesirable consequences.

So I think your choices are what you suggest above or remove the
'X-Spam-Level: \*{2,}' rule from header_filter_rules and implement a
custom handler to hold messages that match that and insert that handler
in the pipeline between Moderate and Hold.

See <https://wiki.list.org/x/4030615> for info on custom handlers.
