Is there any other good way to initiate an hourly cron job other than using register_activation_hook within a plugin?

As looks like it will not be useful for websites that have already installed and activated that plugin.

Thanks

Simply check if the event is scheduled, and if not, schedule it:

add_action(
    'init',
    function () {
        if ( ! wp_next_scheduled( 'my_scheduled_event' ) ) {
            wp_schedule_event( time(), 'hourly', 'my_scheduled_event' );
        }
    }
);
