This reverts (kind of) #421823

This change looks wrong to me.

Agreed. Also out of curiosity why aren't we using nix-hash --type sha256 --to-sri <hash> instead of the nix3 CLI? I know it's not really a big difference but tacking on the experimental features feels excessive when a simpler command will do.

I got the error: 'convert' is not a recognized command when running the script

The nix hash convert subcommand has been available for a long time. Also, the to-base64 subcommand has been considered deprecated for just as long. What version of Nix are you on (what's the output of nix --version)?

It might be that I used lix which caused the error, but I think the script should minimize dependencies as much as possible, since both methods achieve the same result

Honestly I agree with you. I think these scripts should be using nix-hash instead of the new nix hash, since the former wouldn't need the nix-command experimental feature and provides the same feature set.
