Is there any other way to deal with this?
Seriously. Have you tried your placeholder idea? Presumably it works. Qobuz tagging does seem to be one of the services weakest points and even with non-classical stuff there are issues which I don't think are resolvable. At album level you can favourite something by a particular artist but when you play a track from it you can frequently find that some other name is credited. I had one the other day can't remember by who but the credit was to a guy who had designed the cover art!
