Thanks for the additional feedback on this shot.
I had done quite a bit of noise reduction already, giving Topaz
Denoise a try. I was sort of desensitized to the noise after looking
at it for so long and seeing a vast improvement. Here's an additional
image after tweaking noise reduction again with Denoise.

I like the first one better, the second one loses too much sharpness.
Rather than taking out the noise with noise reduction, maybe you could
do it, at least in the sky by doing something with the colors. If you're
working in lightroom, use the adjustment brush, set to autoselect on
color so that it selects just the sky and play with saturation.
Or, since the ridgeline is effectively black, select everything but the
moon and play with the saturation.
You might also be able to do something where you select the magenta cast
in the sky in the HSL sliders and either desaturate it, in which clase
it would be grey clouds against a blue sky, or maybe even change the
pink to teal to match the sky.
