Doesn't `copy-tree' do what you want?

,----[ C-h f copy-tree RET ]
| copy-tree is an alias for `cl-copy-tree' in `cl-extra'.
| (copy-tree TREE &optional VECP)
| 
| Make a copy of TREE.
| If TREE is a cons cell, this recursively copies both its car and its cdr.
| Contrast to copy-sequence, which copies only along the cdrs.  With second
| argument VECP, this copies vectors as well as conses.
