Refactor parameter model handling and clean up code

This commit simplifies the parameter model construction in the deployment service by directly using the `build_params_model_from_snapshot` function. It also removes unused functions and redundant comments, enhancing code clarity and maintainability.

Additionally, the error handling in the parameter model builder has been improved to log errors more effectively.

Fixes #1234
