Hey everyone,

If I XOR probably random data with good enough random data, does that
result in at least good enough random data?

Yes, but other mixing functions are better.

Best to hash all streams together, rather than xor them together. Then if there is any random difference between two imperfectly random streams, the resulting stream will be more random than either one.
