Plex is not able to provide EPG data to some channels on my setup.

I am able to use a XMLTV file which contains this missing data, however If I use this, I’ll miss the episode metadata for the other channels.

Is there any way we can use multiple sources for EPG, depending on its channel?

I dont think there is much point in reporting channel where the missing EPG data as is, as I saw the hundreds you have been reporting.
