Also, "Enlightened" Paladin does not exist. The archetype is IRORAN Paladin. Now, if your GM is literal, he will take that to mean it must worship Irori and not Arshea, but there's nothing that forces you to worship Irori though other than the name.
You could think of it like Christian communion though, which requires you to be Christian. Up to the GM in a RAW vs RAI thing.
A paladin who ceases to be lawful good, who willfully commits an evil act, or who violates the code of conduct loses all paladin spells and class features (including the service of the paladin's mount, but not weapon, armor, and shield proficiencies). She may not progress any further in levels as a paladin. She regains her abilities and advancement potential if she atones for her violations (see atonement), as appropriate.
Imma go with "worshipping another deity" being one of those things a Deity would not really be hot with.
AGAIN, this is all assuming that the GM takes that, by RAI, the Iroran Paladin is meant to worship Irori, which is not a terribly far-fetched assumption.
Depending on the deity, it wouldn't be too hard to imagine allowing the archtype to be taken. As long the ethos is similar to Irori.
Arshea seems like she'd probably be a little-tiny-maybe-bit over the line as far as the archetype flavor goes, though. Possibly.
This isn't the rules forum. Also, getting off-topic.
On topic: I haven't checked the abilities specifically, but they only stack if they assign different 'types' to the AC bonus (deflection/dodge/etc.) If they are 'untyped' bonuses, you can only apply charisma once.
And since we're in the Advice forum, I'd recommend running it by your GM. Even without the apparently-inflammatory deity issue, triple-dipping Charisma is something your GM might not appreciate. Better to get approval first then have trouble crop up later.
To be an "Iroran Paladin" you have to actually worship Irori.
Imho that is so utterly obvious the didnt feel the need to write it down explicitly.
Like on the level of "If you are dead you stop taking actions".
Doesn't the iroran paladin say they make their own code anyway?
The entry with the flavor text still in it (aside: always check the Archives of Nethys when using setting specific stuff) makes it much clearer that the Iroran Paladin is, in fact, a paladin of Irori - it's because you're following Irori that you get to create your own personal code. That's how Irori rolls.
Though if you're paladin, your god is technically optional. (Though I can't speak for PFS.) Paladins usually worship a deity but aren't required to.
Perhaps the Iroran Arshean paladin just serves two masters.
You're probably a heretic by orthodox Iroran standards (and perhaps a stick in the mud by orthodox Arshean standards), but the more laid-back ones might find you hilarious.
(Though as mentioned above, the most important thing would be to check with your GM and make sure (s)he's not going to want to strangle you for stacking all that stuff =P)

The Dawnflower Dervish bard has explicit rules text stating that you must worship Sarenrae or you revert to a standard bard.
The Iroran Paladin does not, but does state that each paladin in Irori's service creates their own code, and that strongly states the RAI is that it is Irori only.
Iroran paladins meditate on self-perfection and train relentlessly, knowing that their example can inspire others to excel. Irori offers no universal paladin code— each paladin in his service creates his own code as part of his spiritual journey, seeing the adherence to such a self-formulated creed as one of the many tests one must face to reach perfection.
And here im just thinking about how the PC is going to have to spend one hour doing Arsheas obedience every day :P.
I only just realized that, at least in the OP, the third boon is charisma as armor rather than dex. That should work with the other two, theoretically. Hard to say without seeing the source though.
But again, you'll want to run this by your GM for multiple reasons.
Think of it like Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
You don't have to be Brazilian, or live in Brazil.
Not quite the same. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu came from Brazil. What you're trying to do is say that Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu came from Canada.
It is heavily implied since Iroran literally means "of Irori". At the very least, if you don't worship Irori you have to follow the standard Paladin code, since the god is specifically mentioned in that ability.
I'd also like everyone to favorite this thread, and when a feat comes out with totally wonky wording, like Slashing Grace, and you're wondering why, take a look back here and see if a light bulb doesn't go off.
If I were GMing a game set in Golarion, I'd probably enforce the Archives of Nethys interpretation (official), but if I were running a homebrew, I'd use the d20pfsrd.com one.
OP is surely gone by now, but I think my point about this being a thing you should check with your GM stands due to heavy RAI vibes.

You could be worshiping a Pantheon, that includes both gods.
In PFS at least, worshipping a pantheon does not allow you the mechanical benefits of worshipping multiple gods.
