I never dealt with reverse tolerance thankfully. First time I tried kava I was relaxed and numb. It was love at first chew (I just chewed roots at first).
I don't think reverse tolerance is a thing, truthfully. I've written extensively about this before, so I'll summarize my previous thoughts.
Most people don't know how to properly prepare kava, including how much root to use, how much water to use, methods of extraction (which is why I include specific instructions on each bag), and proper equipment (which is why I include a free 80 micron strainer with each order). Many folks end up drinking one shells worth, thinking it'll hit them like a brick, but they don't realize the really obvious effects normally come on after ~2-3 properly prepared shells. They're being responsible by not drinking too much on their first time, but it's generally just not enough.
Once you've been drinking it a while though, you can generally tell how strong a batch is by your first shell and the first signs of being rooted.

There are days when I think it is real, and days when I think it isn't.
Kava worked for me the first time I tried it. I was looking for something subtle and relaxing, and that's what I got. However, over the years I have found myself able to get more and more krunked off of similar portions of Kava.

Yeah haha certain kavas just hit amazing. It's magic I say magic
Much like Le Kavasseur, I felt mild relaxation from the start and was happy with that. I could try to increase the dose back then and just end up sick rather than getting a stronger effect from the kava.
It took me at least a month, if not two, until I really started gettin' whopped good. I alternated between heavy kavas and light kavas and also combined them. That's when I settled on the 6-8 Tbsp being the necessary minimum to really feel what any particular kava has to offer.
