I don't know if hornbeam keeps its leaves in winter if grown as a
hedge. (Beech does)

Yes, I think it does. I grew several hornbeams as trees down a drive and
from what I remember, they grow fairly quickly and are rather handsome.
It's also good for pleaching which takes a bit of work but is very pretty
and makes a handsome barrier.
