It's still an alist under the hood.

Two options: insert the input directly into the G-exp:

 (copy-recursively #+hyph-utf8-scripts "scripts")

or: search for a file in hyph-utf8-scripts and then extract the
directory name:

 (copy-recursively (dirname (search-input-file inputs "hyph-utf8.rb"))
                   "scripts")

.  I'd prefer the latter because that makes it easier to define a
custom texlive-hyphen-... package replacing hyph-utf8-scripts by a
custom hyph-utf8-scripts by using simple package transformations (e.g.:
inherit + replace the native-inputs).

Greetings,
Maxime
