But it breaks for astropy because of a new rule requiring a root tests/ folder.

I think the toothpaste is long out of the tube, and we can't reasonably be expected to change the repo's layout just to satisfy this rule, so skipping it would be the natural solution. However, quoting from https://github.com/scientific-python/cookie:

a way to specify ignored checks will likely be added eventually

So something needs to happen upstream for this hook to be upgradable again. I'll report there and link back.
