After chatting with Hostinger support, the following is the reply.
"Yes. Your WordPress instances on Premium Web Hosting support custom SSL certificates on their virtual hosts"
(Copy-pasting from an email exchange).
So, we could install the cloudflare origin server certificate as per the procedure at https://www.hostinger.com/support/1583785-how-to-install-a-custom-ssl-in-hostinger/
Doing this has both Pros and Cons.
The pro is that then we can be sure of the certificate being valid for Cloudflare - unlike the letsencrypt certificate currently present, which would need updating every three months.
The con is that once the cloudflare origin server certificate is installed, you can only access the wordpress site through cloudflare (or you would get a scary "certificate not trusted" message) and you would be limited by cloudflare's file upload and timeout limits.
(The team opted to not use Cloudflare Origin Certificates.)
