Inactive devices in our tenant are deleted after 6 months,
If we have a device that was lost or stolen. What is the best way to approach this scenario on laptops, ios devices, and android devices?
Goal is to make the device unusable by whoever has it, like lock it on the user enrollment screen until a valid azure admin account is used to (re)enroll.

The place to look is at device actions. Select the device under Devices, and then when the device page comes up the Overview page has a bar at the top of the actions you can take, which depends on the OS. For example, for Windows, you can initiate a Wipe, and even unenroll the device from Intune, and there's additional options. You can also rotate local admin passwords, do an autopilot reset, or try to locate the device... all potentially useful tools for lost devices.
I do recommend testing these options before you need them to ensure you are familiar with how they work and their device impact.
