This probably has nothing to do with use-package. You can have a mix of
(use-package ..) and (require ..) forms.

I use use-package for all my packages. But I also `require' files like
setup-personal.el (which have a (provide 'setup-personal)), which I do not
commit to github.

https://github.com/kaushalmodi/.emacs.d/blob/d51b8bb267fd18978eed28e59a28006b235f75aa/init.el#L310-L311

Example use:

(require 'setup-personal nil :noerror)

If a setup-personal.el (with the right provide) is found in the load-path,
it will be required, else nothing will happen (no errors).

Then, within the setup-personal.el, I would be having use-package forms if
any.

Hope this helps.
