Magical/mystical/spiritual purposes, yes. But UV light is UV light, whether reflected off the moon or not. And Stone Mask vampires are vulnerable to UV light, not some mystic quality of sunlight.
See?!
Some quick research tells me that while the moon seems like a good reflector of sunlight it's actually pretty poor at reflecting UV rays, so using BMR try to hit an area with ultraviolet rays without a bunch of other negative side effects isn't really feasible.
The science backs me up!
 
Q: How BMR works?

In a special effects display that would have been dazzling if the author had any inclination to describe it, Gin dramatically came in from offstage. "Actually, [Bad Moon Rising] works by [redirecting sunlight in space according to my will]. It's a simple matter of [geometry]," he claimed, "to [bounce it off of the lunar surface] so that it [reflects back onto the Earth] and [creates the effect of a full moon], allowing me to use the fullest extent of my werewolf powers at any time of the month."

The girls stared at him for several seconds, until Yukari raised a hand. "So if you can direct and focus sunlight any way you please," she asked, "then why can't you take out your opponents with precision solar lasers?"

"Well," Gin muttered sheepishly, "precision was the key word, there. And it's something that BMR.... lacks. Or to be more accurate, it's precise.... in astronomical terms, which aren't really that useful when scaled down for human-sized use...."
He could just redirect sunlight directly from space, but I doubt we'll do that since the Starlight Crusaders probably don't want to wipe out Cairo with poorly aimed doom-lasers from the sky.
 
I mean, the Occam's Razor solution is to just forcibly recruit that jackass from Part 3 with The Sun; its owner is a bit of a fuckup, but the Stand itself is still a miniature sun that can also shoot heat rays - he'd work great as a component in any anti-Dio plan.
 
On the topic of UV light capability vs. DIO, this debate has a pretty straightforward solution, courtesy of the Speedweed Foundation

mind it's not a perfect one since it relies on DIO not punching his way through any floors or ceilings or simply hopping into his coffin to evade the flash

and fighting him before the sun goes down so he can't just fly through a hole in the wall

Current tally stands at:

"get more info"
  1. [X]You want more information about that Wendigo, Yuuda Terada. Your instinct tells you that he's going to need to be dealt with, and it's better to have this discussion while Holly's not involved.
  2. Number of voters: 18
"some variant of [relax and take a smoke break]"
  1. [X]Just take a moment to relax, light up another cigarette, and have yourself a peaceful smoke.
    Number of voters: 27
"ask for beer"
  1. [X]Coolly ask Hiyasu if he's got any beer.
    Number of voters: 3
Votes are still open for the next twelve hours or so.

That's not what I'm getting?
I'm getting that lighting up a cigarette is winning, since you're combining those votes.

The only notable difference is that some of us included the invisitext.

Assume a slight margin of error, but as
To be fair, the Hamon breathing has been converted to smoke break, so all those votes have to be added to it.
notes, all variants of "sit your ass down and [x] while the Shirayukis do whatever" are treated as voting for a smoke break.
