To summarize, alternative fingerings, right?

Why?

Thanks.
Further discussion about the issue at hand there at GitLab.

Here an (admittedly ugly) workaround for your example:

thumb = \finger\markup\fontsize #5 \musicglyph "plus"
flageolet = \finger\markup\fontsize #4 \musicglyph "scripts.flageolet"

\new Staff
  <<
    \relative c'' {
      a16_2^2
      a_3
      %% -\hide -3 is a placeholder for the Fingering from NullVoice
      a-\hide -3 \thumb_\flageolet^\flageolet
      a_3^\thumb^\flageolet a a a a a_2^1 a_3^2
      a_\thumb_\flageolet^3^\flageolet a_3^\thumb a a a a_\thumb_\flageolet^1
      a_1^\thumb a_2 a_3 a_2
    }

    \new NullVoice
      \with {
        \consists Finger_glide_engraver
        \consists Fingering_engraver
      }
      {
        %% `staff-padding` likely needs to be adjusted frequently
        \override Fingering.staff-padding = 1.5
        s16 a\glide -3 a-3
      }
