Consider using pydantic for our internal models

When using pydantic we could get rid of our jsonschema files as validation would be performed by pydantic itself.
This seemed like a good idea (and still is), but as we migrated now to dataclasses for our internal model, maintaining supported properties in two places (model class, schema) could be avoided by using pydantic (which also supported dataclasses, so the model would not have to be changed).

Currently, we use metadata for dataclass fields, which is very handy, we need to find ways how something similar can be supported with pydantic before we make the switch.

pydantic also supports dataclasses, with that we could keep the existing logic by using the powers of pydantic wrt schema validation.
