    From your description, it appears that indeed the vital data points like traffic name, source, and medium aren’t included in the streaming export, therefore making your analytics somewhat incomplete. The user-attribution data requires about ~24 hours to fully process and is recommended to be gathered from the full daily export, but you’ve stated you can’t run daily exports due to data size. So yes, it seems improbable that user-attribution data is going to be in the intraday tables. It’s also implied that if you want to analyse a high number of events per day, you’ll need to utilize both the streaming and daily exports. However, because of the limited functionality of streaming exports, some data might be missing or incomplete. To ensure you’re not missing out, it may be worth exploring different methods, or considering a consultation with an expert in Google Analytics and BigQuery to explore viable solutions for your specific needs.
