Am I doing the right thing by always burning and mulching my Maple

not feed the tree,and could I not put it under other less leafy trees

Don't burn them. You are wasting a valuable resource and causing some
degree of pollution.
Rake them up and compost them somehow. If you have a big enough
garden a leaf-sucker is a good idea, especially one which shreds the
leaves and gathers them in a bag.
