Spack dev here. Yep it's mainly used in HPC, but we'd love to see more folks using in other areas.

There is windows support now (in addition to linux and macOS), which I think was a roadblock for many, and we have gotten some very interest from folks outside the HPC community, e.g. Replica.one, who hope to use it for a software-defined OS for embedded devices: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMxNafpDhng (skip to ~12min for some discussion of Spack, Nix, Guix, and portage)
