DirectQuery has a lot of limitations. A PBIX that has imported data can be uploaded to app.powerbi.com and a scheduled refresh ca nbe set up by providing DB connection credentials. This is a must-have for the embedded option. The idea of uploading a new file every few hours is ridiculous and not a solution in the real world.
Is there a feature request out there somewhere for this?

Feature request for uploading a new file every few hours, Power BI Designer API, with this pbix can be created and refreshed programmable and then sent to Power BI Embedded workspace without human intervention.
Another feature request for gateway in Power BI Embedded, with gateways it will be possible to do the same refresh as in Power BI Service.
Though it sounds a little ridiculous, if Power BI Embedded is preferred and direct query is not acceptable, that is the only approach. Otherwise use Power BI REST API instead, the pbix is published to Power BI Service and the imported dataset can be scheduled to refresh.
