Yeah, I also ran into that when ranking geocoding results - you want to show more "important"/notable places first. In your case, one pragmatic approach could be to keep only features with wikidata or wikipedia tags (and maybe a small whitelist like natural=peak, tourism=viewpoint/attraction).

This is also why I lean on Nominatim-derived data for Corviont - it already condenses a lot of this into a single importance/ranking model. I have not tried a whole-world build though, so I am not sure how well that behaves at planet scale.

That’s definitely worth trying, I would guess many people would want to have a global service that works for any user.
