You can get both with an OR meta_query that also checks if the key does not exist:
'meta_query' => array(
'relation' => 'OR',
array(
'key' => 'event_date',
'compare' => 'NOT EXISTS',
),
array(
'key' => 'event_date',
'value' => date("Ymd", time()),
'compare' => '>',
),
),
'orderby' => array(
'meta_value_num' => 'DESC',
'date' => 'ASC',
),
