It seems like you’re right about the user-attribution data (things like traffic name, source, and medium) not being included in the streaming export to BigQuery. From how I interpret Google’s statement, it looks like this data does take around 24 hours to fully process, so it won’t appear right away in your intraday tables. Rather, it would be included in the full daily export.
Because of this, for a complete data set, you might indeed need to run both streaming and daily exports simultaneously. However, whether the daily table can gather over a million events per day would largely depend on your specific setup and limitations on Google’s end. The technical specifics of these limitations would be best confirmed with Google’s support or their official documentation.
Remember, when dealing with such large amounts of data, it’s always a good idea to keep an eye on any potential costs or performance issues that could arise.
