> move keys between HSMs

This should rarely happen if we are doing things correctly.

The moment the private key leaves the secure context of the HSM you should consider it to be compromised. Some HSM vendors have a way to effectively extend the secure context across multiple physical machines to address the edge cases where you'd be inclined to do this.
