Whether you set allow-query to none, or remove the zone statement,
clients will get an error when they try to query the zone.

There is a difference when you develop a web interface for DNS system.
A user can "pause" the domain from web interface, if we remove the zone and records from BIND files, how will we do if user choose to enable the domain?

simply: instead of adding "allow-notify {none;};" when user pauses a zone, you remove whole zone definition from the config file. When user unpauses, you will re-add the zone to bid config

But with allow-query none, only adding a statement we can "pause" the domain for querying, but can re-enable it by removing this statement later.

The zone can stay on disk, in database etc, even when "paused".

You still need to edit the config file, so there's not big difference.

There's one Barry mentioned: With allow-query_none anyone who queries will get REFUSED, when you remove the zone definition they'll get SERVFAIL or maybe NXDOMAIN
