Have you looked into Nominatim [1] for reverse geocoding?

Nominatim requires a lot of resources for full planet installs. I'd recommend looking into Pelias or Photon instead. They're both amazing. Headway has used both of them at various points. Photon is definitely easier to set up for the planet, though, you can just download a pre-computed search index from GraphHopper and you're good to go.
