I have data that looks like this:

2019-12-09 16:57:05;138712
2019-12-10 19:13:44;138712
2019-12-12 15:53:57;138957

It would be useful to do feedgnuplot --separator ";" to easily be able to do --timefmt '%Y-%m-%d %H:%m:%s'. Is there workaround?

Hi. I don't want to add that because you can easily pre-process your data with a search/replace. For instance:

< data sed 's/;/ /g' | feedgnuplot ....

The spaces in the timefmt don't affect the fields. It mostly works the way you would expect.
