". But they also, being larger, can field a well-trained moderation team. "
I don't follow the logic there?
Why would moderation on a server with a million users be better than on a server with a thousand users?
If anything, going by experience of the Fediverse, the moderation on massive servers is much worse. The ratio of staff to users tends to become lower as a server grows, which leads to lower quality moderation.

"With small servers, what you've typically got is one admin and maybe a couple of (volunteer) helpers."
It's not the numbers that matter, it's the ratio.
If a server has a thousand people and one moderator, that's 1:1000.
For Facebook to match that ratio they would need three million moderators, which they clearly don't have. Meta's entire employee count is only 70,000.
That's why massive networks depend heavily on automated moderation, they don't have enough people.
