Moegi being a descendant of Senju Clan is not that farfetched at all, since Senju Clan just randomly disappeared soon after Konoha was established, we can assume that they lived their life prioritising village over clan and disbanded in honour of Hashi's beliefs. If that's the case, then most of the people in the village is probably related to the Senju Clan in some way.

If Wood Release is not connected by bloodline, then why is the Senju Clan also called the Senju Clan of the Forest? Not sure about this, but this name could've been established long before Hashi's use of Wood Release. Also, people always consider Wood Release a Hashi-only ability because he's the only one in the world that can use it, well there's only one in the world that can use Shikotsumyaku, does that make it a Kimimaro-only ability? Plus, if kekkei genkai in general can be achieved by non related people, then that defeats the whole purpose of kekkei genkai. For all we know, all the people that uses the same kekkei genkai that are not related could have a common ancestor.

If Wood Release is related to being Asura's reincarnation, then Naruto would've had it. Also, if Moegi has it while Naruto is alive, assuming Asura's spirit didn't leave Naruto after he broke the cycle, then it wouldn't make sense for Moegi to have it anyway.

Having Wood Release doesn't make you OP or on a Tailed Beast level; Hashi had massive chakra pool and also being Asura's reincarnation to strengthen his use of Wood Release. Anyone who has a large enough chakra pool can be on a Tailed Beast level whether you have Wood Release or not. Wood Release is also not OP versatile either, since you can also use Earth Release to a similar fashion.

Most of the known Wood Release users are utilising Hashi's cells, other than Hashi himself, Ashura, Kaguya, and Momoshiki. The origin of Wood Release could be from the Otsutsuki Clan, or an Otsutsuki Clan member that ate a Chakra Fruit. Since Kaguya and Asura can use it, I'm assuming Hagoromo can use it too. But the point is, only the people that are related to the Senju and upwards can use Wood Release, so Moegi has to be at least related to "this whole god descendant thing" somehow. Yes cool, but it does not defeat the purpose of a KG, by that logic, I assume Dust Release is from Mu's Clan? And that Boil Release is from the Fifth Mizukage's Clan? No. It isn't. Even with the Yuki Clan it was never stated only they could get Ice Release, but that the Demonic Mirroring Ice Crystal is the only exclusive thing. Also them being called Senju of the forest could be related to many other things.
