Is it necessary to pass on this custom of burning incense and worshipping Buddha on the Mid-Yuan Festival?
Since this custom exists, it certainly has its value of existence. Burning incense and worshipping God is a memorial tribute to ancestors and a reverent prayer to the gods. In short, it is an act with good wishes and hopes. For Buddhists, especially for those who recite the Buddha's name, we can go along with this custom; we may or may not do it ourselves, but we do not object to others doing it. The way for people who recite the Buddha's name is to recite the Buddha's name for their ancestors, relying on the power of Amitabha Buddha to supersede their ancestors, so that they may be exactly free from suffering and be reborn in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss in the West!
For the deities, the deities are also beings in the cycle of reincarnation, only that they are blessed with great fortune to receive happiness in heaven. If we can recite the Buddha's name, they will protect us and honor us, and we should tell them not to delay in enjoying heavenly pleasures, but also to practice Buddha's recitation, so that they can leave the cycle of rebirth and death together, achieve the supreme Buddha's path, and be eternally blessed with peace and happiness!

Seriously, now, you want to learn the real Chinese culture, then you definitely can't get around Taoism.
