I just cheat bigtime. As long as you're not using really reflective objects in the scene, you can sometimes get away with just pasting a normal photo to the sphere. Does mean that you either have to increase the DOF or change the POV so you can't see the sphere (or at least the seam), but can work ok(ish).
My challenge "Mosquito" this month uses just a normal photo. Since the background and hdri is more for colour than anything.
Same with my chess set, since the DOF is off the scale I got away with it.
