I'm not very experienced, but it sounds like I am more experienced than you.
In my experience, I have never bothered to remove burr comb. I merely cut it so that I can remove frames. In other words, I only mess with it if its preventing me from doing something I need to do.
If you have good bees, and you have your frames all set up properly and reasonably spaced, and they are using the feeder, not being robbed, no pests in there.....there's only so much you can do....the bees will take care of themselves. I wouldn't worry so much.
