Regarding Moonbeam Gems : I have accumulated several dozen Moonbeam Gems that I just never used from past playthroughs.

So yes, these can be stockpiled in your inventory from multiple playthroughs.

I've never tried switching modes in order to do this (because switching up to Hard mode resets your storyline to the beginning).

Normal multiple playthroughs will allow you to accumulate them, so I think that your idea would work :

Play in normal, get the Moonbeam Gems, switch to Hard mode, start over, get more Moonbeam Gems, switch to normal then switch to Hard mode, start over, get more Moonbeam Gems, switch to normal then switch to Hard mode, start over, get more Moonbeam Gems, etc.
