Yes it is hard to know the IPs of where all the emails are coming from but
you can start by an SPF record with the IPs you know about and terminate it
by ~all. the ~all just says, if it does not pass it may be still ok.

You complete the SPF as you learn more about your infrastructure and what
is not working.

I don't think you need the gift of omniscience to get started with SPF.
