This portion of the Sled Agent was added in #4466, migrating an old "services" ledger into a new, zones-oriented format.
This code served as a bridge between old and new format, but maintaining backwards compatibility here is a burden
for modifying the zone format further.
Specifically: in #5050 , which attempts to add the notion of "transient zone filesystem zpool" to the request from Nexus, the translation of "old format -> new format" is no longer possible without additional information about "where should the transient zone filesystem be placed".
Given that this conversion has been deployed for multiple months - across releases - I figured it would be easier to remove the old support, rather than making another bridge for old code compatibility.
